THE MAHABHARATA
 
Yudhisthira-
" Krishna, it is not my idea that you
should go to the Kauravas; even if your
words be good, Duryodhana will not act
up to them.
 
'तेषां मध्यावतरणं तव कृष्ण न रोचये ।
न हि नः प्रीणयेद् द्रव्यं तव द्रोहेण माधव ॥'
 
"Krishna, I do not like your getting into
their midst. The wealth that involves harm
to you, will not please us. "
 
कृष्ण:-
'जानाम्येतां महाराज धार्तराष्ट्रस्य पाषताम् ।
अवाच्यास्तु भविष्यामः सर्वलोके महीक्षिताम् ॥
अथ चेन्ते प्रवर्तेरन् मयि किञ्चिदसांप्रतम् ।
निर्दहेयं कुरून्सर्वान् इति मे धीयते मतिः ॥
Krishna –
 
(1
 
King, I know this wickedness of
Duryodhant. But we will become blame-
less in the whole world and in the eyes
of kings. If the Kauravas should do me
anything improper, I will burn them all ;
so do I resolve.
