virat nagar mean kauravoan ki har, bhishm ka upadesh, shrikrishn ka doot banakar jana, phir bhishm ka upadesh, yuddh ki taiyari ve jahaan rahate haian, vahian in gunoan ka vistar ho jata hai. ve vidvanh evan mahatma haian, ve kahian vesh badalakar rahate hoange. maian isase adhik kuchh nahian kah sakata. yadi unhean dhooandhana hi hai, to aise lakshanayukt sthan mean hi talash karo.' bhishm ke in vachanoan se spasht ho jata hai ki unaki yudhishthir adi ke sambandh mean kaisi dharana hai. ve duryodhan ke pas rahate hue bhi hriday se yudhishthir par hi astha rakhate haian aur samay-samay par yudhishthir ki prashansa kiya karate haian. susharma ki salah se kauravoan ne matsy desh ke raja virat par chadhaee kar di. un dinoan pandav vesh badalakar vahian rahate the. maharaj virat susharma se yuddh karane ke liye ek disha mean gaye hue the, doosari disha se kauravoan ne akraman kar diya. avasar dekhakar arjun prakat ho gaye. yah bat kauravoan se bhi chhipi nahian rahi. logoan mean yah charcha hone lagi ki ajnatavas ka varsh poora hone ke pahale hi arjun prakat ho gaye haian: isaliye inhean phir barah varsh ka vanavas bhogana p dega. dronachary ke poochhane par bhishm pitamah ne kaha-'achary! kalachakr ke bahut-se chhote-b de aansh hote haian, jaise kashtha, kala, muhoort, din, paksh, mas, grah, nakshatr, rritu aur varsh. samay ki ghatati-badhati aur nakshatramandal ki gati ke ulat-pher se har paanchavean varsh do mahine badhate haian. un malamasoan ko jo dakar aj terah varsh poore hokar paanch mahina chh: din adhik ho gaye haian. pandavoan ki pratijna poori ho chuki hai, isi se arjun tumhare samane prakat hue haian. paanchoan pandav vishesh karake yudhishthir dharm aur arth ka tatv janate haian. ve nirlobh haian. unhoanne kathor sadhana ki hai. ve adharm karake rajy pana nahian chahate. dharm ke bandhan mean bandhe rahane ke karan hi ab tak unhoanne apana parakram nahian dikhaya hai. ve hansate-hansate mrityu ke muanh mean jana svikar kar sakate haian: parantu asaty ke marg mean jana svikar nahian kar sakate. ve apana hak lekar chho deange. indr bhi unaka hissa nahian daba sakate. ab hamean unake sath yuddh karana hoga.'
