Still the king Yudhishthira with his friends wishes them prosperity. The sons of Kunti, heroes among men and the two sons of Madri, seek only what has been earned by the sons of Pandu by overthrowing the king and winning victory over him. It is also well know to you how, when they were mere boys, their enemies who were cruel, dishonest and who sought to get the kingdom, attempted by several means to kill them. Consider their greediness and also the extreme piety of Yudhishthira.
रभीप्सतेऽनामयमेव तेषाम्। यत् तु स्वयं पाण्डुसुतैर्विजित्य समाहृतं भूमिपतीन् प्रपीड्य॥ तत् प्रार्थयन्ते पुरुषप्रवीराः कुन्तीसुता माद्रवतीसुतौ च। बालास्त्विमे तैर्विविधैरुपायैः सम्प्रार्थिता हन्तुममित्रसंघैः॥ राज्यं जिहीर्षद्भिरसद्भित्रैः सर्वं च तद् वो विदितं यथावत्। तेषां च लोभं प्रसमीक्ष्य वृद्धं धर्मज्ञतां चापि युधिष्ठिरस्य॥
