THE MAHABHARATA
 
"Venerable Bhishma, Kripa, Drona with
his son, the wise Vidura-let that which all
these persons say be done; let all the
Kauravas be long-lived."
 
दुर्योधनमिदं वाक्यं भीष्मश्शान्तनवोऽब्रवीत् ॥
 
Bhishma told Duryodhana these words:
 
वासुदेवार्जुनौ वीरौ समवेतौ महारथौ ।
नरनारायणौ देवाविति होवाच नारदः ॥
 
"The two heroic warriors united together,
Krishna and Arjuna, are the divine Narayana
and Nara; so hath Narada said.

'शङ्खचक्रगदाहस्तं यदा द्रक्ष्यसि केशवम् ।
पर्याददानं चास्त्राणि भीमधन्वानमर्जुनम् ।
दुर्योधन तदा तात स्मर्तासि वचनं मम ॥'
 
"When you see Krishna with his conch,
discus and mace in his hands and the
terrible-bowed Arjuna wielding the missiles,
then, Duryodhana, will you remember my
words."
