Sahadeva said All this which has been said by the king is eternal virtue; but, O chastiser of foes, should act in that way by which there shall be war.

If even the sons of Kuru desire peace with the sons of Pandu, still do you provoke war with them, O you of the Dasharha race.

Having seen the princess of Panchala come in the assembly, O Krishna, annoyed in that fashion, how can my wrath towards Suyodhana be appeased without killing him?

If Bhima and Arjuna, O Krishna and the virtuous king are virtuous, then I leading the path of virtue desire to fight with him in battle.

Satyaki said Sahadeva of large mind has spoken the truth, O you of long arms. His wrath and mine will be appeased only by killing Duryodhana.

Do you not know that you, too seeing the Pandavas clad in rags and deer skin in the forest, felt very sorry and your wrath was kindled

Therefore what the heroic son of Madri terrific in battle has said is the opinion of all the soldiers, O you foremost of men.

Vaishampayana said While Suyodhana of large mind was yet speaking such, a terrible roar like that of a lion came from all the soldiers assembled there.

And all the heroes accepted and honoured these words of his in every way saying-Well done, well done; and the soldiers desirous of battle expressed their joy.
