Duryodhana said Come Khattwa, bring here Draupadi, the dear and the beloved wife of the Pandavas. Let her be forced to sweep the chambers, and let the unfortunate women remain where our serving women are.

Vidura said O wicked man, do you not know that by uttering such words you are tying yourself with cords? Do you not feel that you are standing on the edge of the precipice? Do you not know that being but a deer you are provoking to anger so many tigers? ?

O greatly wicked-minded man, deadly venomous and angry snakes are on your head. Do not provoke them any further and go to the land of Yama.

In my opinion the slavery cannot attach to Krishna (Draupadi), as she was staked by the king (Yudhisthira) after he lost himself and ceased to be his own master.

Like bamboo which bears fruits when it is about to die, this king, this son of Dhritarashtra, wins this treasure at play. Intoxicated (in play), he does not perceive in his these last moments what enmity and frightful terrors the dice bring in.

No man should utter harsh words, and thus pierce the heart of others. No man should subjugate his enemies by dice and by such other foul means. No one should utter such words, as give pain and lead men to hell and annoys others.

One man utters from his lips words that are harsh. Stung by them the other burns day and night. Those words pierce the very heart of another. Therefore, the learned men should never utter such (harsh) words towards others.

Once at a time a goat swallowed a hook, and when it was pierced with it, the hunter placed its head on the ground and frightfully tore its throat in drawing it out. Like it do not create a terrible enmity with the Pandavas.

The sons of Pritha never use such words. It is only low men who are like dogs that use harsh words towards all classes of people, namely towards those that live in the forest, those that lead domestic life, those that are employed in asceticism, and those that are greatly learned.

The son of Dhritarashtra does not know that dishonesty is one of the fearful doors of hell. Many Kurus with Dushasana amongst them have followed him in the path of dishonesty in this play at dice.

Even grounds may sink and stone may float and boats may always sink in water, but still this foolish king (Duryodhana) the son of Dhritarashtra, will not listen to my words which are like regimen to him.

He will certainly be the cause of the destruction of the Kurus. When the worlds of wisdom spoken by friends, words of wisdom spoken by friends, words that are like the proper regimen, are not listened to, when temptation is on the increase, a fearful and universal destruction is sure to overtake all the Kurus.
