THE MAHABHARATA
3
'न विप्रियं करिष्यामि धार्तराष्ट्रस्य केशव ।
त्यक्तप्राणं हि मां विद्धि दुर्योधनहितैषिणम् ॥'
Karna -
"Krishna, I will not do that which
will displease Duryodhana;
having laid down my life for the good
of Duryodhana."
अथ सैन्यस्य मध्ये तु प्राक्रोशत्पाण्डवाग्रजः ।
'योऽस्मान्वृणोति तमहं वरये साह्यकारणात्' ।
Then Yudhisthira said aloud in the midst
of the army : "I seek for my aid him
who chooses to join us. "
ततो युयुत्सुः कौरव्यान् परित्यज्य सुतांस्तव । *
जगाम पाण्डुपुत्राणां सेनां विश्राव्य दुन्दुभिम् ॥
Then, leaving the sons of Dhritarashtra,
the Kauravas, Yuyutsu went over to
the army of the Pandavas after sounding
the drum.
