SALYA PARVA

"Auspicious lady! words of moral and
material good, and beneficent to both
parties, you spoke; and they were not
acted up to by your sons.
 
'दुर्योधनस्त्वया चोक्तो जयार्थी परुषं वचः ।
'शृणु मूढ वचो मह्यं यतो धर्मस्ततो जयः ।"
तदिदं समनुप्राप्तं तव वाक्यं नृपात्मजे ।
एवं विदित्वा कल्याणि मा स्म शोके मनः कृथाः ॥'
 
"And you spoke harsh words to
Duryodhana, who was seeking victory :
'Hear these words from me, you stupid
fellow! Where Dharma is, there victory
shall be.' Queen, those words of yours
have come true now. Auspicious lady,
take it so and grieve not. "
 
समाश्वास्य च गान्धारीं धृतराष्ट्रं च माधवः ।
आगम्य शिबिरं रात्रौ सोऽभ्यगच्छत पाण्डवान् ॥
 
After consoling Gandhari and Dhritarashtra,
Krishna returned to the camp in the night
and met the Pandavas.
