THE MAHABHARATA
तामेव रात्
On the night preceding the day on which
that Bhima of terrible valour was born,
king Duryodhana was born.
स जातमात्र एवाथ धृतराष्ट्रसुतो (नृप] ।
रासभारावसदृशं रुराव च ननाद च ॥
As soon as he was born, that son of
Dhritarashtra brayed like an ass.
लक्षयित्वा निमि
अब्रुवन्ब्राह्मणा [ राजन् ] विदुरश्च महामतिः ॥
Observing those terrible omens all around,
the Brahmins (of the court) and the wise
Vidura said (to Dhritarashtra) :
' व्यक्तं कुलान्तकरणो भवितैष सुतस्तव ।
तस्य शान्तिः परित्यागे गुप्तावपनयो महान् ॥
" It is clear, this son of yours is going
to be the cause of the annihilation of the
race; peace can be secured by abandon-
ing him ; great will be the impolicy in
keeping him.
