THE MAHABHARATA
 
" After saluting, our grandfather, Bhishma,
must be told this :
Grandfather, act
 
(
 
according to your view
 
in such a manner
 
that your grandsons may live in mutual
affection."
 
' तथैव विदुरं ब्रूयाः कुरूणां मन्त्रधारिणम् ॥
 
R
 
"In the same manner, you shall speak
to Vidura, the counsellor of the Kauravas."
 
'अथ दुर्योधनं ब्रूया अनुनीय पुनः पुनः ॥
 
"Then shall you tell Duryodhana, con-
ciliating him again and again :
 
"यन्नः प्रव्राजयेस्सौम्य अजिनैः प्रतिवासितान् ।
यत्कुन्तीं समतिक्रम्य कृष्णां केशेष्वधर्षयत् ।
दुःशासनस्तेऽनुमते तच्चास्माभिरुपेक्षितम् ॥
 
' Good man, that you sent us clad in
skins into exile, that, ignoring Kunti
( our mother ), Dussasana, with your permis-
sion, insulted Draupadi by dragging her
by the hair,-these have been endured
by us..
