That night passed away against the wishes of Krishna and Vidura, who was listening to the discourses on diverse subjects conducive to religious merit and earthly profit and conveyed in rhythmical language from Krishna and of Krishna of immeasurable prowess listening to similar discourse from high-souled Vidura.
धर्मार्थकामयुक्ताश्च विचित्रार्थपदाक्षराः। शृण्वतो विविधा वाचो विदुरस्य महात्मनः॥ कथाभिरनुरूपाभिः कृष्णस्यामिततेजसः। अकामस्येव कृष्णस्य सा व्यतीयाय शर्वरी॥
