You (Dushasana) were the root of all the mischief and sufferings we had to undergo; it is through the evil counsels of Duryodhana, Shakuni and the son of Radha we had to sleep at the house called the Pramankoti and out food was poisoned; we had to suffer from bites of black snakes, we were going to be burnt down to ashes in the house of lac, we were robbed of our kingdom through gambling and Draupadi was insulted and her beautiful hairs seized mercilessly; we were exiled in wilderness, we suffered both at home and at battle from strokes of weapons when living in Virata's residence. We have never been happy but have undergone all these sufferings from the evil intentions of Dhritarashtra and his son.
प्रमाणकोटयां शयनं कालकूटस्य भोजनम्॥ दंशनं चाहिभिः कृष्णैर्दाहं च जतुवेश्मनि। द्यूतेन राज्यहरणमरण्ये वसतिश्च या॥ द्रौपद्याः केशपक्षस्य ग्रहणं च सुदारुणम्। इष्वस्त्राणि च संग्रामेष्वसुखानि च वेश्मनि॥ विराटभवने यश्च केशोऽस्माकं पृथग्विधः। शकुनेर्धार्तराष्ट्रस्य राधेयस्य च मन्त्रिते॥ अनुभूतानि दुःखानि तेषां हेतुस्त्वमेव हि। दुःशान्येतानि जानीमो न सुखानि कदाचन॥ धृतराष्ट्रस्य दौरात्म्यात् सपुत्रस्य सदा वयम्।
