M. N. Dutt: Burning with the hate they cherished against us, they could not enjoy happiness and peace. Witnessing advancement, Duryodhana became colourless, pale and emaciated. Suvala's son informed king Dhritarashtra of this. Like an indulgent father, Dhritarashtra tolerated the evil policy of his Our son. Forsooth, by disregarding Vidura and the great son of Ganga, and neglecting to restrain his wicked and covetous son entirely under the influence of his passion, the king has met with destruction like my poor self. Forsooth, Suyodhana, having caused his uterine brothers to be king and having cast this old pair into burning grief, has fallen off from shining glory. Burning with the hate he bore to us, Duryodhana was always sinful at heart. What other highly-born kinsman could use such language towards kinsman as he, with a view of fight, actually used in the presence of Krishna? |
