VANA PARVA

"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

some one in this world who stands for
what is dear to us. "
 

 
एवं ब्रुवाणं कौन्तेयमिति राजाऽभ्यभाषत ।

' भवन्ति भेदा ज्ञातीनां शाज्ञातिधर्मो 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.
