The greatly illustrious son of Dhritarashtra, that great king (Duryodhana) thus spoke to him, "Truly has this been said by you. When, O foremost of men, the wicked-minded Pandavas have been killed and when the great Rajasuya has been performed by me, then O hero, you shall again thus honour me."
तमब्रवीन्महाराजो धार्तराष्ट्रो महायशाः॥ सत्यमेतत् त्वयोक्तं हि पाण्डवेषु दुरात्मसु। निहतेषु नरश्रेष्ठ प्राप्ते चापि महाक्रतौ॥ राजसूये पुनर्वीर त्वमेवं वर्धयिष्यसि।
