SECTION –VIII
(Aranyaka Parva Cotinued)
"Vyasa said, 'O wise Dhritarashtra, hear
what I say! I will tell thee that which is for the great good of all the
Kauravas! O thou of mighty arms, it hath not pleased me that the Pandavas have
gone to the forest dishonestly defeated (at dice) by Duryodhana and others! O
Bharata, on the expiration of the thirteenth year, recollecting all their woes,
they may shower death-dealing weapons, even like virulent poison, upon the
Kauravas! Why doth thy sinful son of wicked heart, ever inflamed with ire, seek
to slay the sons of Pandu for the sake of their kingdom? Let the fool be
restrained; let thy son remain quiet! In attempting to slay the Pandavas in
exile, he will only lose his own life. Thou art as honest as the wise Vidura,
or Bhishma, or ourselves, or Kripa, or Drona, O thou of great wisdom,
dissension with one's own kin are forbidden, sinful and reprehensible!
Therefore, O king, it behoveth thee to desist from such acts! And, O Bharata,
Duryodhana looketh with such jealousy towards the Pandavas that great harm
would be the consequence, if thou didst not interfere. Or let this wicked son
of thine, O monarch, along and unaccompanied, himself go to the forest and live
with the sons of Pandu. For then, if the Pandavas, from association, feel an
attachment for Duryodhana, then, O king of men, good fortune may be thine.
(This, however, may not be)! For it hath been heard that one's congenital
nature leaveth him not till death. But what do Bhishma and Drona and Vidura
think? What also dost thou think? That which is beneficial should be done while
there is time, else thy purposes will be unrealised.'"
