You (Dushasana) were the root of all the mischief and sufferings we had to undergo; it is through the evil counsels of Duryodhana, Shakuni and the son of Radha we had to sleep at the house called the Pramankoti and out food was poisoned; we had to suffer from bites of black snakes, we were going to be burnt down to ashes in the house of lac, we were robbed of our kingdom through gambling and Draupadi was insulted and her beautiful hairs seized mercilessly; we were exiled in wilderness, we suffered both at home and at battle from strokes of weapons when living in Virata's residence. We have never been happy but have undergone all these sufferings from the evil intentions of Dhritarashtra and his son.
