THE MAHABHARATA
 
तस्यां रजन्यां व्युष्टायां सूतस्योपदिदृक्षया ।

शुश्रूषमाणाः पार्थानां वाचो धर्मार्थसंहिताः ।

धृतराष्ट्रमुखास्सर्वे ययू [राजन् ] सभां शुभाम् ॥
 

As that night ended and day dawned,

all (the Kauravas) headed by Dhritarashtra

went to the beautiful assembly-hall, wishing

to see Sanjaya and hear the righteous and

profitable words of the Pandavas.
 

 
सञ्जयः-
-
 

'दुर्योधनो चावाचमिमां शृणोतु

यदब्रवीदर्जुनो योत्स्यमानः ॥
 

Sanjaya-

"Let Duryodhana hear these words

which the great Arjuna, who is going to

fight, said :
 

 
" आशंसेऽहं वासुदेवद्वितीयो

दुर्योधनं सानुबन्धं निहन्तुम् ॥
 
"
With Krishna alone as my aid, I hope

to annihilate Duryodhana along with his

followers.
