virat nagar mean kauravoan ki har, bhishm ka upadesh, shrikrishn ka doot banakar jana, phir bhishm ka upadesh, yuddh ki taiyari brihaspati ne brahma se poochha-'bhagavanh! ye kaun haian jo apaki upasana kiye bina age badhe ja rahe haian?' brahma ne kaha- 'ye apane prabhav se tinoan lokoan ko prakashit karane vale nar-narayan haian. inake dvara sare sansar mean anand aur shanti ka vistar ho raha hai. ye asuroan ko marane ke liye ek bhagavanh ke hi do lilavigrah haian. isaliye duryodhan! shrikrishn aur arjun ko jitane ka vichar thik nahian hai. bhishm pitamah ne age kaha-'un dinoan daity aur devataoan ka yuddh chal raha tha, ve nar-narayan ke pas gaye. unhoanne unaki stuti ki aur var maanga. nar-narayan ne kaha-'indr! tumhari jo ichchha ho maang lo.' tab unhoanne yuddh mean sahayata maangi. nar-narayan ki sahayata se indr vijayi hue aur daity har gaye. nar-narayan ne anekoan bar daityoan ko parast kiya hai. vahi nar arjun haian aur vahi narayan shrikrishn haian. maian yah bat apani or se nahian kah raha hooan. vedajn narad muni ne mujhase yah bat kahi hai. unhean sansar ka koee vir hara nahian sakata. duryodhan! abhi tum meri bat nahian sun rahe ho, parantu jab tum shankh, chakr, gada, padyadhari bhagavanh shrikrishn ko aur gandiv dhanushadhari arjun ko ek rath par baithe dekhoge, tab tumhean mere vachanoan ka smaran hoga. meri bat nahian manoge to nissandeh kuruvanshiyoan ka sarvanash ho jayega. maianne tumase b de rahasy ki bat kahi hai, itane par bhi yadi tum mera kaha n sunoge aur parashuram ke shap se kalankit hinajati soot-putr karn aur papabuddhi shakuni evan du:shasan ki salah manoge to yahi samajhana chahiye ki tumhari buddhi dharm aur arth donoan se hi bhrasht ho gayi hai.' bhishm pitamah ki bat sunakar karn tamak utha. usane kaha- 'pitamah! ab aisi bat kabhi mat kahiyega. maianne kshatriy dharm svikar kiya hai. duryodhan ko kshatriy dharm palan karane ki salah deta hooan. mujhamean ninda karane yogy koee dosh ya durachar nahian hai. maian duryodhan ko prasann karane ke liye yuddh mean arjun ko marooanga. ab usase mel nahian ho sakata. chahe jaise hoga, maian duryodhan ko prasann karooanga.'
