Duryodhana, listen to these words of
mine, uttered especially for the sake of
peace to you and your followers.
 
'रोचते ते पिस्तात पाण्डवैस्सह संगमः ।
सामात्यस्य [कुरुश्रेष्ठ] तत्तुभ्यं तात रोचताम् ॥
 
"My dear Duryodhana, alliance with the
Pandavas is liked by your father. May
you also, with your ministers, like it.
'त्वामेव स्थापयिष्यन्ति यौवराज्ये महारथाः ।
महाराज्येऽपि पितरं घृतराष्ट्रं जनेश्वरम् ॥

"Those great warriors (the Pandavas) will
install you yourself as crown-prince and your
father, king Dhritarashtra, as the sovereign
over all.
 
'मा तात श्रियमायान्तीमवमंस्थास्समुद्यताम् ।
अर्ध प्रदाय पार्थेभ्यो महतीं श्रियमाप्नुहि ॥
"Dear Duryodhana, do not spurn the
great fortune which courts you; giving half
to the Pandavas, attain to a great fortune.
'पाण्डवैस्संशमं कृत्वा चिरं भद्राण्यवाप्स्यसि ॥
 
'Making lasting peace with the Pandavas,
you will fare well for long. "
