Sanskrit Original
दुर्वासा उवाच वृथा पाकेन राजर्षेरपराधः कृतो महान्। मास्मानधाक्षुर्दृष्ट्वैव पाण्डवाः क्रूरचक्षुषा॥ स्मृत्वानुभावं राजर्षेरम्बरीषस्य धीमतः। बिभेमि सुतरां विप्रा हरिपादाश्रयाज्जनात्॥ पाण्डवाश्च महात्मानः सर्वे धर्मपरायणाः। शूराश्च कृतविद्याश्च वतिनस्तपसि स्थिताः॥ सदाचाररता नित्यं वासुदेवपरायणाः। क्रुद्धास्ते निर्दहेयुर्वै तूलराशिमिवानलः। तत एतानपृष्ट्वैव शिष्याः शीघ्रं पलायत॥
Durvasa said : By uselessly making him prepare our food we have done a great wrong to that royal sage. Will not the Pandavas distroy us by looking down upon us with angry eyes? I know, the royal sage is endued with great ascetic power; O Brahmana, I am afraid of those man who are devoted to Hari's feet. All those Pandavas are high-souled, pious, heroic, learned, observant of vows and of devout panances. They always observe the rules of good conduct and are devoted to Vasudeva; if angry, they can consume us with their anger as fire does a bale of cotton. So O disciples, you all run away quickly without seeing them.
