I told you, as soon as he was born. O king, abandon this one son, Duryodhana. By his abandonment (you will see) the proper development of your hundred sons; and by not abandoning him, there will be the destruction of your hundred sons.
उक्तं मया जातमात्रेऽपि राजन् दुर्योधनं त्यज पुत्रं त्वमेकम्। रस्यात्यागात् पुत्रशतस्य नाशः॥
