Then Sakuni, the eloquent son of the Gandhara king, O king, said to Duryodhana these words:-How is this that we are standing here, while the Madraka army is being killed before our eyes? O Bharata,when you are here, it does not look well!
ततो गान्धारराजस्य पुत्रः शकुनिरब्रवीत्॥ दुर्योधनं महाराज वचनं वचनक्षमः। किं न सम्प्रेक्षमाणानां मद्राणां हन्यते बलम्। न युक्तमेतत् समरे त्वयि तिष्ठति भारत।
