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."
