• viṣamam — biased
  Literally 'uneven, unequal' — the opposite of sama. The Bhāgavata's verdict on Dhṛtarāṣṭra in one word: a king whose love for his own sons has destroyed his evenness toward all his subjects.
• putra-lālasam — ardently affectionate toward his sons
  Lālasā = obsessive longing. The very intensity that should have been redirected to Kṛṣṇa (as Yaśodā's vātsalya is) has instead been bent into partiality. Same emotional energy, opposite outcome.
• bandhubhiḥ — by well-wishing relatives (Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma)
  Bandhu literally means 'one who binds, who is bound to.' Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma are Hastināpura's true bandhus, but the message they send is precisely what Dhṛtarāṣṭra is least able to receive.
• sauhṛda-uditam — what had been said in friendship
  Sauhṛda (good-heartedness) + udita (uttered). The same root-mood (suhṛt) Kṛṣṇa claims as His relationship to all beings in Gītā 5.29. The brothers' message is framed not as politics but as friendship.

Akrūra turns from the women's quarters to the throne room and speaks the message Kṛṣṇa entrusted to him, the way a careful courier hands over a sealed letter at exactly the right moment — neither too soon to be ignored nor too late to matter.
