Sanjaya said : O king, what you have said as regards, Duryodhana is true. O ruler of earth, nothing what you have said is untrue.

The immeasurably effulgent Pandavas were filled with wrath seeing their illustrious wedded wife, Krishna, brought into the Sabha. O great king, hearing the cruel words of Dushashana and Karna, they have become so angry that I believe they would not forgive.

O great king, I have heard how Arjuna has gratified in battle by means of his bow the god of gods, Sthanu of eleven forms.

The exalted lord of all the gods, Kapardin (Shiva) himself, having assumed the disguise of a Kirata, fought with Falguni (Arjuna) to test his prowess.

It was then that the Lokapalas appeared before that hero of undeterioating ascetic prowess in order to give away their weapons to that chief of the Kuru race.

What other man, on earth except Falguni canı ever attempt to get a sight of these gods in their own real forms?

O king, who is there who will be able to weaken that hero who was not weakened by Maheswara (Shiva) himself with eight forms?

Having dragged Draupadi (into the Sabha) and thus provoked the Pandavas, your sons have brought upon themselves this terrible, fearful and hair-stirring calamity.

Seeing Duryodhana in the act of displaying his both thighs to Draupadi. Bhima, with quivering lips, spoke these words.

"O sinful wretch, as you are a great gambler, I will smash with the fearfully forcible maces, your these two thighs on the expiration of the thirteenth year."

All (the Pandavas) are the foremost of smiters, all immeasurably effulgent, all skilled in every weapon, all invincible even before the celestials.

I am sure, the sons of Pritha, angry as they are at the insult offered to their wedded wife, will kill all your sons in battle.

Dhritarashtra said: O charioteer, what (great) mischief has been done by Karna by his uttering cruel words? Was it not enmity to the extreme by bringing Krishna (Draupadi) to the assembly-hall?

How can my wicked minded sons live when their eldest brother and superior does not walk in the path of righteousness?

O Suta, seeing me blind and incapable of taking any active steps, my wicked son considers me a fool and does not listen to what I say. are

Those wretches also, who his counsellors, namely, Karna, the son of Subala (Shakuni) and others, always encourage him in his course of vice; he is incapable of understanding things.

The arrows, that the immeasurably powerful Arjuna shoots in playfulness are able to consume all my sons, what to speak of his those arrows which are shot by him in anger!

The arrows, pulled by the strength of Arjuna's arms and shot from his bows and also inspired with mantras which convert them to celestials weapons, can chastise even the celestials.

What is there which is unconquerable by him who has for his protector, counsellor and friend, the Lord of the three worlds, Hari, Janardana (Krishna).

O Sanjaya, this is most wonderful in Arjuna as we have heard that he clasped Mahadeva (Shiva) with his arms. That act also which Falguni (Arjuna) did of old aided by Damodara (Krishna) in order to help Agni to consume the Khandava (forest) was witnessed by all the world.

When these Bhima, Partha (Arjuna) and Vasudeva (Krishna) of the Satvata race are angry, my sons with their friends and the son of Subala are surely not at all capable to fight with them.
