THE MAHABHARATA
Duryodhana-
"King, this Sakuni, expert with the dice,
ventures to capture the riches of Yudhisthira
through gambling; you must permit that."
आर्तवाक्यं तु तत्तस्य प्रणयोक्तं निशम्य सः ।
धृतराष्ट्री [महाराज] प्राहिणोद्विदुराय वै ॥
Hearing those plaintive words of
Duryodhana said with affection, Dhritarashtra
sent for Vidura.
द्यूते दोषांश्च जानन्स पुत्रस्नेहाद्कृष्यत ॥
Knowing as he did the evils of gambling,
he was being dragged by his affection for
his son.
तच्छ्रुत्वा विदुरो धीमानिदं वचनमब्रवीत् ।
नाभिनन्दामि ते राजन् व्यवसायमिमं [प्रभो]।
पुत्रैर्भेदो यथा न स्याद् द्यतहेतोस्तथा कुरु' ॥

Hearing that, the wise Vidura said these
words : "King, I do not approve of this
resolve of yours. Act in such a manner
that there will be no split amongst your
sons because of this game of dice."
