I felt no difference between my sons and the sons of Pandu. My own sons were wayward and they hated me, because I was old and blind. I bore all on account of my miserable state of being blind and for paternal affection. I was foolish and thoughtless and Duryodhana grew in folly.
न मे विशेष: पुत्रेषु स्वेषु पाण्डुसुतेषु वा। वृद्ध मामभ्यसूयन्ति पुत्रा मन्युपरायणाः॥ अहं त्वचक्षुः कार्पण्यात्पुत्रप्रीत्या सहामि तत्। मुह्यन्तं चानुमुह्यामि दुर्योधनमचेतनम्॥
