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 सर्वान्धनुर्ग्राहान् 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.
