VANA PARVA
 
183
 
"King Duryodhana and all his harem
are being carried away by the Gandhar-
vas."
So cried Duryodhana's ministers
who loved their king. Afflicted and
miserable, all of them came to Yudhisthira.
 
भीमः -
 
'अस्माभिर्यदनुष्ठेयं गन्धर्वैस्तदनुष्ठितम् ।
 
दिष्ट्या लोके पुमानस्ति कश्चिदस्मत्प्रिये स्थितः ॥'
 
Bhima-
"What we ought to have done, the
Gandharvas have done. Luckily, there is
some one in this world who stands for
what is dear to us. "
 
एवं ब्रुवाणं कौन्तेयमिति राजाऽभ्यभाषत ।
' भवन्ति भेदा ज्ञातीनां शातिधर्मो न नश्यति ।
सुयोधनस्य मोक्षाय प्रयतध्वमतन्द्रिताः ॥
 
King Yudhisthira told Bhima who was
talking thus : "Differences do exist among
kinsmen; ( but ) the duty of kinsmen does
not suffer (thereby). Strive without sloth
to rescue Duryodhana.
