THE MAHABHARATA
 
"The kings who had been put to
trouble by us have joined the side of the
Kauravas and are now attached (to them).
Duryodhana cannot be killed by you
 
unaided.
 
'न निद्रामधिगच्छामि चिन्तयानो वृकोदर ।
अति सर्वान्धनुग्रहान् सूतपुत्रस्य लाघवम् ॥'
 
"Bhima, thinking of the dexterity of
Karna that is above all archers, I do not
get sleep."
 
एतद्वचनमाज्ञाय भीमसेनोऽत्यमर्षणः ।
बभूव शान्तिसंयुक्तो गुरोर्वचनवारितः ॥
 
Understanding these words and checked
by his elder's words, Bhima who was very
furious, became calm.
 
तयोस्संवदतोरेवं तदा पाण्डवयोर्द्वयोः ।
आजगाम महायोगी व्यासस्सत्यवतीसुतः ॥
 
As these two sons of Pandu were thus
conversing, there arrived Vyasa, the great
Yogin, the son of Satyavati.
