Vaisampayana said, 'Then those brave descendants of Kuru, who were allied with Virata, joyfully celebrated Abhimanyu's wedding and rested that night. At dawn, they appeared in Virata's court, pleased and content. The king's chamber was filled with wealth, adorned with fine gems and precious stones, with carefully arranged seats, decorated with garlands, and filled with delightful fragrances. All those mighty leaders gathered there. Seated at the front were King Virata and King Drupada. The esteemed and elder rulers, along with Balarama and Krishna with their father, were present too. Close to King Drupada sat the great hero from the Sini clan and the son of Rohini. Next to the Matsya king sat Krishna, Yudhishthira, all of Drupada's sons, Bhima, Arjuna, the two sons of Madri, and the valiant Pradyumna and Samva, alongside Abhimanyu and the sons of Virata. The princes, sons of Draupadi, sat in splendid seats inlaid with gold, matching their fathers in bravery and skill. Krishna spoke, 'You all know how Yudhishthira was deceitfully defeated at dice by the son of Suvala and lost his kingdom, leading to his exile in the forest. Despite their power to conquer the earth, the sons of Pandu remained true to their word. For six or seven years, these remarkable men endured the harsh trials set before them. This thirteenth year was especially difficult to bear. Yet, unnoticed by anyone, they passed through it, as you know, suffering many unbearable hardships. This is known to all of you. These honourable men have spent the past thirteen years serving others in lowly roles. Given this, it’s important for you to think about what is best for both Yudhishthira and Duryodhana, as well as what aligns with fairness in the matters of the Kurus and the Pandavas, and what everyone would approve of. King Yudhishthira, a man of virtue, would never unjustly desire even the heavenly realm, but would instead accept the leadership of a mere village with honor. Everyone here knows how the sons of Dhritarashtra deceitfully took his rightful kingdom and how he has endured immense suffering throughout his life. The sons of Dhritarashtra lack the strength to defeat Arjuna, Pritha’s son. Still, King Yudhishthira and his allies only seek what is beneficial for Dhritarashtra's son. These courageous sons of Kunti and the two sons of Madri only request what they justly earned in battle from their conquered foes. You are undoubtedly aware of how Duryodhana and his allies selfishly plotted to destroy the Pandavas when they were just children, so filled with malice were they. Reflect upon their greed compared to the virtue of Yudhishthira, and consider their familial bonds. I urge all of you to discuss this together and also to think individually. The Pandavas have always valued truth and have kept their promises unwaveringly. If they are wronged by the sons of Dhritarashtra now, they would not hesitate to fight back against them. They have friends who, once they learn about the unfair treatment their companions endure, will stand by them in battle against their oppressors, ready to fight and even die for them. If you think they are too few to conquer their foes, understand that when united and supported by their friends, they will certainly strive to overcome their enemies. The thoughts of Duryodhana are unclear, and what actions he may take is also uncertain. When the intentions of the opposition are unknown, how can you determine the best course of action? Therefore, let a virtuous, honest, and respectable ambassador depart to gently persuade them to offer half the kingdom to Yudhishthira.’ After listening to Krishna's wise and virtuous words, reflecting a desire for peace and fairness, his older brother praised his younger sibling’s speech to the assembly." |

"Baladeva said, 'You have all heard the words of Gada’s elder brother, marked by wisdom and responsibility, which are beneficial for both Yudhishthira and King Duryodhana. These brave sons of Kunti are willing to give up half their kingdom as a gesture for Duryodhana. Therefore, the sons of Dhritarashtra should also relinquish half the kingdom and celebrate with us, as this dispute can be resolved amicably. If these powerful figures come into the kingdom, they would surely find peace and happiness, provided the other side acts kindly. Their peace will lead to the good of all people. I would be pleased if someone here would take on the task of calming both the Kurus and the Pandavas by finding out Duryodhana's feelings and conveying Yudhishthira's perspective.’ ‘Let him respectfully greet Bhishma, the noble warrior of the Kuru lineage, and the generous son of Vichitravirya, along with Drona and his son, Vidura, Kripa, and the king of Gandhara, as well as the Suta's son. He should also honour all the other sons of Dhritarashtra, who are known for their strength and wisdom, dedicated to their duties, courageous, and aware of current affairs. When all these individuals are gathered, and the elder citizens have arrived, let him speak humbly and in ways that benefit Yudhishthira. Above all, he should avoid provoking them, as they have forcefully taken the kingdom. When Yudhishthira sat on his throne, he lost himself to gambling and was stripped of his kingdom. This courageous Kuru, this descendant of Ajamida, even though inexperienced in dice and advised against it by friends, challenged the skilled son of the king of Gandhara to a game.' At that place, there were thousands of players that Yudhishthira could defeat. Yet, ignoring them all, he challenged only Suvala’s son to a game, and therefore he lost. Even though the dice were often against him, he insisted on facing Sakuni alone. Competing with Sakuni, he suffered a severe defeat. No blame should fall on Sakuni for this. Let the messenger speak humbly, using words to win over Vichitravirya's son. This may help bring Dhritarashtra's son to agree with him. Do not pursue war with the Kurus; speak to Duryodhana in a conciliatory manner. War may not achieve your aim, but reconciliation might, and it would also lead to lasting results.’ Vaisampayana continued, 'While Baladeva was still speaking, the bold son of Sini suddenly rose and expressed his strong disagreement with these words.' Satyaki said, 'A man's words reflect his heart! You speak true to the nature of your heart. There are both brave men and cowards; these are two distinct classes. Just as a large tree may bear fruitful branches as well as barren ones, so from the same lineage may come both fools and the strong. O bearer of the plow symbol on your banner, I do not condemn your words, but I do condemn those who are listening to you! How can anyone dare to blame the righteous king Yudhishthira in this assembly?' Clever players challenged the noble Yudhishthira, who was inexperienced with dice, and trusting them, he lost! Can we really say they won fairly? If they had defeated him while playing with his brothers, it would have been a rightful victory. But instead, they tricked Yudhishthira, who was committed to following the honourable rules of his class. What is honourable about their behaviour? How can Yudhishthira, having fully met his obligations and freed from his promise to live in the forest, feel humbled about claiming his rightful throne? Even if he desired what belongs to others, it wouldn't be right for him to beg! How can they be just if they've ignored the truth that the Pandavas have gone into hiding undetected yet claim otherwise? They were urged by Bhishma and the noble Drona to restore the throne to the Pandavas; still, they refuse to honour the birthright. Who can stand against Arjuna in battle, or the master of the discus, or even myself? Who could challenge the formidable Bhima? And who, valuing their own life, would dare approach the twin brothers who wield their bows with the intelligence of the deadly Yama? Who would dare challenge Dhrishtadyumna, the son of Drupada, or the five sons of the Pandavas, who have brought glory to Draupadi's name, matching their fathers in bravery and fully proud of their warrior spirit? And what about Subhadra's son, with his mighty bow, who even the gods cannot overpower? We will defeat Dhritarashtra's son, as well as Shakuni and Karna in battle, and restore the Pandava to the throne. There is no wrong in killing those who seek to kill us; it is shameful and disgraceful to beg before our enemies. I urge you to commit to what Yudhishthira truly desires. Let Pandu's son regain the kingdom that Dhritarashtra has relinquished! Either Yudhishthira regains his kingdom today, or I will ensure that all our enemies fall defeated at my hands.!' |

"Drupada said, 'O strong-armed one, it will surely be as you have said! Duryodhana will never yield the kingdom peacefully, and Dhritarashtra, who is overly fond of his son, will support him in his desires. Bhishma and Drona, being foolish, will also follow suit, as will Karna and Shakuni out of ignorance. The counsel of Valadeva is sound; a person seeking peace should heed it. But gentle words will never sway Duryodhana. By nature, he is vicious and cannot be reasoned with softly. Kindness may work with a donkey, but with strong cattle, firmness is necessary. If anyone speaks gently to Duryodhana, that wicked man would think the speaker foolish. Handling him gently would lead the idiot to believe he has triumphed. So let us prepare; let us inform our allies to gather an army for us. Swift messengers must go to Salya, Dhrishtaketu, Jayatsena, and the prince of the Kekayas. Duryodhana will also message all the kings. Fair-minded people typically respond to initial requests. Therefore, I urge you to act quickly in approaching these leaders. A significant challenge lies ahead of us. And let this wise priest of ours, O king, be dispatched to Dhritarashtra. Tell him what to convey and the words for Duryodhana; let him also know how to address Bhishma and Drona, the greatest of warriors.'!" |
