" Vaisampayana said, 'Upon hearing that Vidura had returned and the king had comforted him, the treacherous son of Dhritarashtra was consumed by sorrow. His mind clouded by ignorance, he called forth the son of Suvala, along with Karna and Dussasana, and spoke to them, saying, 'The wise Vidura, advisor to the shrewd Dhritarashtra, has returned! He, a friend to the sons of Pandu, is always working for their good. Until Vidura convinces the king to bring them back, think of what might help me! If I ever see the sons of Pritha return to the city, I shall again waste away, refusing food and drink, regardless of the obstacles! I will either poison myself, hang myself, enter the fire, or take my own life with my weapons. Yet, I will never bear to see the sons of Pandu thrive!' 'Shakuni replied, 'O king, O ruler of the land, what madness has seized you! The Pandavas have gone into exile, having made a solemn vow, so your fears will never come true! O pride of the Bharata lineage, the Pandavas stick to their principles. They will never heed your father's words! But if they do return to the city, breaking their vow at the king's behest, we will feign neutrality while secretly watching the Pandavas and keeping our plans close!' "Dussasana said to Shakuni, 'Oh wise uncle, you speak the truth! Your words of wisdom resonate with me!' Karna replied, 'Oh Duryodhana, we all aim to fulfill your desires, and I can see that we are united in this moment! The sons of Pandu are disciplined and won’t return until their time is up. However, if they do come back, let us defeat them again at dice.' Vaisampayana continued, 'At Karna's words, Duryodhana, feeling downcast, turned away from his advisors. Observing this, Karna, with intense determination, angrily addressed Duryodhana, Dussasana, and Suvala's son, saying, 'Princes, heed my thoughts! We are all loyal servants of King Duryodhana, here to support him! So, we must act in ways that please him! Yet, often we are slow to assist him due to our reliance on Dhritarashtra. Now, let’s arm ourselves and rally together to eliminate the Pandavas who are living in the forest! Once the Pandavas are silenced and embark on their unknown journey, both we and Dhritarashtra’s sons will find peace! As long as they suffer and lack support, they remain vulnerable to us! This is my perspective.’ Upon hearing Karna’s words, they cheered him enthusiastically and finally shouted, 'Well done!' Then, each climbed onto their chariot, filled with confidence, and they charged together to defeat the sons of Pandu. Sensing this with his spiritual insight, the wise and pure Krishna-Dwaipayana approached them and commanded them to stop. Revered by all, he swiftly appeared before the king, who was relaxed and whose wisdom acted as his guide. The holy one addressed the king directly, disregarding everyone else. |

"Vyasa said, 'O wise Dhritarashtra, listen to my words! I will share with you what is truly beneficial for all the Kauravas! O strong one, I am not pleased that the Pandavas have been unfairly sent into exile after losing at dice against Duryodhana and the others! O Bharata, when the thirteenth year is over, recalling their suffering, they may unleash devastating weapons upon the Kauravas, like deadly poison! Why does your unrepentant son, filled with hatred, seek to destroy the sons of Pandu just for their kingdom? Let that fool be restrained; let your son keep the peace! If he attempts to kill the Pandavas while in exile, he will only bring about his own doom. You are as honourable as wise Vidura, Bhishma, ourselves, Kripa, or Drona, O wise king; fighting with one’s own family is forbidden, sinful, and shameful! Therefore, O king, you must refrain from such actions! And, O Bharata, Duryodhana harbours such envy towards the Pandavas that great disaster will follow if you do not intervene. Or let this wicked son of yours, O monarch, go to the forest alone and live with the sons of Pandu. For if the Pandavas grow fond of Duryodhana through their time together, good fortune may come to you. For it is said that a person's true nature does not change until death. But what do Bhishma, Drona, and Vidura think? And what is your own opinion? What is right should be done while there’s still time, or else your goals will remain unachieved.'" |

" King Dhritarashtra said, 'O holy sage, I never approved of this gambling, but it seems that fate led me to accept it! Neither Bhishma, nor Drona, nor Vidura, nor my wife Gandhari wanted this game of dice. It was undoubtedly a foolish act. And, O revered one who respects vows, despite knowing everything, I am still swayed by parental love, and I cannot abandon my reckless son, Duryodhana!' Vyasa replied, 'O king, Dhritarashtra, you speak the truth! We all know that a son is one of life’s greatest blessings, and there is nothing better than having a son. Just as my son Pandu holds a special place in my heart, so do you, and so does the wise Vidura! I share this out of love! O Bharata, you have over a hundred sons, while Pandu has only five, and they are suffering greatly. My heart aches for the plight of Pritha’s distressed sons! O king, if you wish for the Kauravas to survive, urge your son Duryodhana to make peace with the Pandavas!''" |
