THE MAHABHARATA
"Duryodhana will not give up the kingdom
for sweet peace; the evil fellow takes
to be an impotent one who talks mildly; this
policy of peace also we will adopt and let
effort ( for war) also be made in this affair.
'अयं च ब्राह्मणो विद्वान् मम राजन् पुरोहितः ।
प्रेष्यतां धृतराष्ट्राय वाक्यमस्मै प्रदीयताम् ॥'
"King, let this learned Brahmin, my
priest, be sent to Dhritarashtra; let a
message be given to him."
""
द्रुपदेनैवमुक्ते तु वृष्णिसिंहोऽब्रवीदिदम् ।
एतच्च पूर्
When Drupada spoke thus, Krishna, the
greatest of the Vrishnis, said this : This
(negotiation for peace) is to be done first by
us who want to adopt a sound policy."
'ते विवाहार्थमानीता गमिष्यामो गृहान्प्रति ।
स भवान्प्रेषयत्वद्य पाण्डवार्थकरं वचः ॥'
"We who have been brought here for
the marriage shall go home; you ( Drupada),
send now a message that will accomplish
the object of the Pandavas."
