krodh aur lobh ke vashibhoot hue dusht duryodhan ne rajasvalavastha mean ekavastradharini draupadi ko sabha mean bulavaya aur use shvasurajanoan ke samip kh di kar diya. us samay sabhi kauravoan ne use dekha tha. vahian raja dhritarashtr, maharaj bahlik, kripachary, somadatt tatha anyany kaurav khed mean bhare hue baithe the. maian to us kaurav-sabha mean sabase adhik adar vidur ji ko deti hooan, jinhoanne draupadi ke prati kie jane vale anyay ka prakat roop mean virodh kiya tha. manushy apane sadachar se hi shreshth hota hai, dhan aur vidya se nahian. shrikrishn! param buddhiman ganbhirasvabhav mahatma vidur ka shil hi abhooshan hai, jo sampoorn lokoan ko vyapt karake sthit hai.'

kuanti dvara apane du:khoan ka smaran karake vilap karana

vaishampayan ji kahate haian- janamejay! shrikrishn ko aya hua dekh kuanti devi shokatur tatha anandit ho apane oopar ae hue nana prakar ke sampoorn duahkhoan ka pun: varnan karane lagi. 'shatrudaman shrikrishn! pahale ke dusht rajaoan ne jo jooa aur shikar ki paripati chala di hai, vah kya in sabake lie sukhavah siddh huee hai? apitu kadapi nahian. sabha mean kauravoan ke samip dhritarashtr ke putroan ne draupadi ko jo aisa kasht pahuanchaya hai, jisase kisi ka mangal nahian ho sakata, vah apaman mere hriday ko dagdh karata rahata hai.parantap janardan! paandavoan ka nagar se nikala jana tatha unaka van mean rahane ke lie badhy hona adi nana prakar ke duahkhoan ka maian anubhav kar chuki hooan. parantap madhav! mere balakoan ko ajnatabhav se rahana p da hai aur ab rajy n milane se unaki jivika ka bhi avarodh ho gaya hai. putroan ke sath mujhe itana mahan klesh nahian prapt hona chahie. duryodhan ne mere putroan ko kapat dyoot ke dvara rajy se vanchit kar diya. unhean is duravastha mean rahate aj chaudahavaan varsh bit raha hai. yadi sukh bhogane ka arth hai puny ke phal ka kshay hona, tab to pap ke phalasvaroop duahkh bhog lene ke karan ab hamean bhi duahkh ke bad sukh milana hi chahie. shrikrishn! mere man mean paandavoan tatha dhritarashtr ke putroan ke prati kabhi bhedabhav nahian tha. is saty ke prabhav se nishchay hi maian dekhooangi ki tum bhavi sangram mean shatruoan ko marakar paandavoan sahit sankat se mukt ho ge tatha rajyalakshmi ne tum logoan ka hi varan kiya hai. paandavoan mean aise sabhi gun maujood haian, jinake hi karan shatru inhean parast nahian kar sakate. maian jo kasht bhog rahian hooan, isake lie n apane ko dosh deti hooan, n duryodhan ko; apitu pita ki hi nianda karati hooan, jinhoanne mujhe raja kuantibhoj ke hath mean usi prakar de diya, jaise vikhyat dani purush yachak ko sadharan dhan dete haian. maian abhi balika thi, hath mean geand lekar khelati phirati thi, usi avastha mean tumhare pitamah ne mitradharm ka palan karate hue apane sakha mahatma kuantibhoj ke hath mean mujhe de diya.

parantap shrikrishn! is prakar mere pita tatha shvasuroan ne bhi mere sath vanchnapoorn bartav kiya hai. isase maian atyant dukhi hooan. mere jivit rahane se kya labh? arjun ke janmakal mean jab maian sootikagrih mean thi, us ratri mean akashavani ne mujhase yah kaha tha- 'bhadre! tera yah putr sari prithvi ko jit lega. isaka yash svargalok tak phail jaega. yah mahan sangram mean kauravoan ka sanhar karake rajy par adhikar kar lega, phir apane bhaiyoan ke sath tin ashvamedh yajnoan ka anushthan karega. maian is akashavani ko dosh nahian deti, apitu mahavishnusvaroop dharm ko hi namaskar karati hooan. vahi is jagat ka srashta hai. dharm hi sada samast praja ko dharan karata hai. vrishninandan shrikrishn! yadi dharm hai to tum bhi vah sab kam poora kar loge, jise us samay akashavani ne bataya tha. madhav! vaidhavy, dhan ka nash tatha kutumbijanoan ke sath badha hua bair-bhav inase mujhe utana shok nahian hota, jitana ki putroan ka virah mujhe shokadagdh kar raha hai. samast shastradhariyoan mean shreshth gaandivadhari arjun ko jab tak maian nahian dekh rahi hooan, tab tak mere hriday ko kya shaanti milegi? goviand! chaudahavaan varsh hai, jab se ki maian yudhishthir, bhimasen, arjun tatha nakul-sahadev ko nahian dekh pa rahi hooan. janardan! jo log pranoan ka nash hone se adrishy hote haian, unake lie manushy shrad karate haian. yadi mrityu ka arth adrishy ho jana hi hai to mere lie paandav mar ge haian aur maian bhi unake lie mar chuki hooan.

madhav! tum dharmatma raja yudhishthir se kahana- beta! tumhare dharm ki b di hani ho rahi hai. tum use vyarth nasht n karo. vasudev! jo stri doosaroan ke ashrit hokar jivan-nirvah karati hai, use dhikkar hai. dinata se prapt huee jivika ki apeksha to mar jana hi uttam hai. shrikrishn! tum arjun tatha yuddh ke lie sada udayatt rahane vale bhimasen se kahana ki kshatrani jis prayojan ke lie putr utpann karati hai, use poora karane ka yah samay a gaya hai. yadi aisa samay ane par bhi tum yuddh nahian karoge to yah vyarth bit jaega. tum log is jagat ke sammanit purush ho. yadi tum koee atyant ghrinit karm kar daloge to us nrishans karm se yukt hone ke karan maian tumhean sada ke lie tyag dooangi. putroan! tumhean to samay ane par apane pranoan ko tyag dene ke lie udyat rahana chahie. goviand! tum sada kshatriy dharm mean tatpar rahane vale madrinandan nakul-sahadev se bhi kahana- putroan! tum pranoan ki baji lagakar bhi parakram se prapt kie hue bhogoan ko hi grahan karana. purushottam! kshatriy dharm se jivan nirvah karane vale manushy ke man ko parakram se prapt hua dhan hi sada santusht rakhata hai. mahabaho! tum paandavoan ke pas jakar sampoorn shastr-dhariyoan mean shreshth paandunandan vir arjun se kahana ki tum draupadi ke batae hue marg par chalo. shrikrishn! tum to janate hi ho; yadi bhimasen aur arjun atyant kupit ho jaean to ve yamaraj ke saman hokar devataoan ko bhi mrityu ke mukh mean pahuancha sakate haian.

draupadi ko jo sabha mean upasthit hona p da tatha du:shasan aur karn ne jo usake prati kathor batean kahian, yah sab bhimasen aur arjun ka hi apaman hai. duryodhan ne pradhan-pradhan kauravoan ke samane manasvi bhimasen ka apaman kiya hai. isaka jo phal milega, use vah dekhega. bhimasen bair ho jane par kabhi shaant nahian hota. bhimasen ka bair tab tak dirghakal ke bad bhi samapt nahian hota hai, jab tak vah shatruoan ka sanhar nahian kar dalata. rajy chhin gaya, yah koee duahkh ka karan nahian hai. jooe mean har jana bhi duahkh ka karan nahian hai. mere putroan ko van mean bhej diya, isase bhi mujhe duahkh nahian hua hai; parantu meri shreshth suandari vadhoo ko ek vastr dharan kie jo sabha mean jana p da aur dushtoan ki kathor batean sunani p dian, isase badhakar mahan duahkh ki bat aur kya ho sakati hai? sada kshatriy dharm mean anurag rakhane vali meri sarvaang-suandari bahoo krishna us samay rajasvala thi. vah sanath hoti huee bhi vahaan kisi ko apana nath n pa saki. purushottam! madhusoodan! putroan sahit jis kuanti ke balavanoan mean shreshth balaram, maharathi pradyumn tatha tum rakshak ho, yuddh mean kabhi pith n dikhane vale vijayi arjun aur durdhash bhimasen sarikhe jisake putr jivit haian, vahian maian aise-aise duahkh sah rahi hooan'.
