Vaisampayana said, 'News reached all the kings attending Draupadi's swayamvara through trustworthy messengers that the beautiful Draupadi had married the sons of Pandu. They also learned that the remarkable hero who had strung the bow and hit the target was none other than Arjuna, the greatest of warriors and master of the bow and arrow. Remembering the cruel plot devised by Purochana, they exclaimed, 'Shame on Bhishma, shame on Dhritarashtra of the Kuru clan!' Then Vidura, upon hearing that Draupadi had been won by the Pandavas and that the sons of Dhritarashtra returned to Hastinapura in disgrace, filled with joy approached Dhritarashtra, saying, 'The Kurus have good fortune!' Hearing Vidura’s words, the son of Vichitravirya, puzzled, joyfully exclaimed, 'What good fortune, Vidura! What good fortune!' In his blindness, the king mistakenly thought that his eldest son Duryodhana was chosen by Drupada's daughter. He immediately ordered beautiful ornaments for Draupadi and commanded that both she and his son Duryodhana be grandly brought to Hastinapura. At this moment, Vidura revealed to the king that Draupadi had selected the Pandavas as her husbands, and that those heroes were all alive and received with honour by King Drupada. Upon hearing Vidura's words, Dhritarashtra replied, 'These children are as dear to me as they were to Pandu—actually, even more so! Listen to why my love for them has grown: the brave sons of Pandu are thriving and secure. They've gathered many friends, and their allies and relatives are all strong. Then, King Dhritarashtra summoned his esteemed ministers for counsel.' Karna said, 'O Duryodhana, you heir of the Kuru lineage, no trick will work against the Pandavas. Despite your clever schemes in the past, you've never succeeded in defeating them. They were living close by when they were still young and weak, but you couldn’t harm them then. Now they've grown strong and are more distant. O prince, your cunning won't harm the sons of Kunti anymore. Virtue in battle is held in high regard among the Kshatriyas. So let us, brave monarch, march our formidable army, with its diverse forces, swiftly against Drupada and bring back the Pandavas.' Bhishma replied, 'O Dhritarashtra, I can never support a dispute with the Pandavas. To me, you are much like Pandu was, and the sons of Gandhari are as dear to me as Kunti's sons. I should protect them just as I would your sons, O Dhritarashtra! The Pandavas are as close to me as your son Duryodhana or any other member of the Kuru family. Given this, I cannot endorse a conflict with them. Instead, let us peacefully settle a treaty; grant them half of the land. Without doubt, this is their rightful inheritance as part of the Kuru lineage. O Duryodhana, just as you view this kingdom as your birthright, the Pandavas see it as theirs too. If the renowned sons of Pandu do not receive the kingdom, then it cannot rightfully belong to you or any other descendant of Bharata. If you believe you have a legal claim to this kingdom, then certainly, the Pandavas can be seen as having a legitimate claim before you. Therefore, quietly grant them half of the kingdom; this would be beneficial for all. If you choose otherwise, it will lead to disaster for everyone. Drona added, 'O king Dhritarashtra, it is known that friends gathered for advice should always speak what is just, true, and honourable. I agree completely with the esteemed Bhishma. Let a portion of the kingdom be given to the Pandavas. This is the right course. Send, O Bharata, a messenger to Drupada without delay, one who can deliver good news and bring along a substantial gift for the Pandavas. Upon their arrival in Hastinapura, welcome them warmly and install them on their rightful throne, as the people desire.'. Vidura said, 'O king, your friends are clearly trying to support you. However, since you refuse to hear them, their advice hardly reaches you. What Bhishma, the son of Santanu and leader of the Kuru clan, has advised is very wise and benefits you, yet you ignore it. The teacher Drona has offered considerable wisdom for your benefit, but Karna, the son of Radha, dismisses it altogether. We have fought against King Drupada before; if we can win him over as an ally, it will make us stronger. O king, the Dasarhas are vast in number and power. Wherever Krishna is, they will be there too, and with Krishna comes victory!' |

Vaisampayana said, 'After hearing all these different speeches, Dhritarashtra spoke: The wise Bhishma, the son of Santanu, the esteemed sage Drona, and you as well (O Vidura) have all spoken the truth and what is best for me. Indeed, just as those great warriors, the heroic sons of Kunti, are the children of Pandu, they are undoubtedly my children by the law. And as my sons have a right to this kingdom, so too do the sons of Pandu rightfully claim it. Therefore, hurry and bring the Pandavas along with their mother, treating them with kindness. O you of Bharata's line, also bring Krishna, the divine one, with them. By sheer fortune, the sons of Pritha are alive; and by mere luck, those fierce warriors have won the hand of Drupada's daughter. It is thanks to fortune that our strength has grown, and it is by luck that Purochana has met his end. O you of great radiance, it is luck that has relieved my deep sorrow!'' Vaisampayana continued, 'Then Vidura, following Dhritarashtra's command, went to Yajnasena and the Pandavas. He brought with him many jewels and various treasures for Draupadi, the Pandavas, and Yajnasena. Upon reaching Drupada's home, Vidura, knowledgeable in morality and sciences, greeted the king properly and waited for his acknowledgment. Drupada welcomed Vidura appropriately, and they both inquired about each other's well-being. Vidura then saw the Pandavas and Vasudeva, and with affection, he embraced them and asked how they were doing. The Pandavas, along with Vasudeva, respectfully honored Vidura, who was wise beyond measure. However, in Dhritarashtra's name, Vidura earnestly asked about their health with deep concern. He then presented the gems and various treasures sent by the Kauravas to the Pandavas, Kunti, Draupadi, as well as Drupada and his sons.' With great wisdom and humility, Vidura addressed King Drupada in front of the Pandavas and Keshava, saying: 'O king, alongside your ministers and sons, please hear my words. King Dhritarashtra, filled with joy, has often inquired about your well-being, and he is very pleased with our alliance. Wise Bhishma, son of Santanu, along with all the Kurus, has shown concern for your health in every way. Drona, your dear friend and a man of great insight, also mentally embraces you and asks about your happiness. O king of Panchala, the alliance with you has brought immense joy to Dhritarashtra and the Kurus; they feel more fortunate than if they gained a new kingdom. Given this, I urge you to allow the Pandavas to return to their ancestral lands. The Kurus are eager to see the sons of Pandu, who have been away for so long. They, along with Pritha, must be longing to see their city again. All the Kuru women, the citizens, and our subjects are excited to see Krishna, the princess of Panchala. Therefore, my recommendation is that you promptly grant the Pandavas permission to go with their wife. Once they have your blessing, I will send swift messengers to inform Dhritarashtra. Then, O king, the Pandavas will set out with Kunti and Krishna.'. |

Vaisampayana said, 'After hearing Vidura's words, Drupada replied, 'You are right, wise Vidura. This alliance has made me very happy. It's fitting for these noble princes to return to their ancestral home. However, I cannot be the one to suggest it. If the brave Yudhishthira, Bhima, and Arjuna, along with the twin brothers, wish to go, and if Balarama and Krishna, who understand all moral principles, agree, then let the Pandavas proceed. For these powerful figures, Rama and Krishna, always act in favour of the sons of Pandu.' Upon hearing this, Yudhishthira said, 'O King, we are now with our younger brothers dependent on you. We will gladly follow your command.' Vaisampayana continued, 'Then Vasudeva said, 'I believe the Pandavas should go, but we should respect King Drupada's judgment, as he is well-versed in moral matters.'' Drupada then said, 'I truly agree with this leading man’s thoughts, considering the situation. For the noble sons of Pandu are to me what they are, without a doubt, to Vasudeva. Kunti's son Yudhishthira himself does not seek the welfare of the Pandavas as fervently as, Kesava, that great man among men.' Vaisampayana continued, 'At the command of the great Drupada, the Pandavas, along with Krishna and Vidura, travelled towards Hastinapura, stopping at various places along the way for enjoyment and leisure.' |
