Sanskrit

yadā ca pārtha-prahitaḥ sabhāyāṁ jagad-gurur yāni jagāda kṛṣṇaḥ na tāni puṁsām amṛtāyanāni rājoru mene kṣata-puṇya-leśaḥ

Translation

Lord Kṛṣṇa was sent by Arjuna into the assembly as the spiritual master of the whole world, and although His words were heard by some [like Bhīṣma] as pure nectar, it was not so for the others, who were completely bereft of the last farthing of past pious works. The King [Dhṛtarāṣṭra or Duryodhana] did not take the words of Lord Kṛṣṇa very seriously.
