Forsooth, Suyodhana, having caused his uterine brothers to be king and having cast this old pair into burning grief, has fallen off from shining glory. Burning with the hate he bore to us, Duryodhana was always sinful at heart. What other highly-born kinsman could use such language towards kinsman as he, with a view of fight, actually used in the presence of Krishna?
यशसः पतितो दीप्ताद् घातयित्वा सहोदरान्॥ इमौ हि वृद्धौ शोकाग्नौ प्रक्षिप्य स सुयोधनः। अस्मत्प्रद्वेषसंयुक्तः पापबुद्धिः सदैव ह॥ को हि बन्धुः कुलीनः संस्तथा ब्रूयात् सुहृज्जने। यथासाववदद् वाक्यं युयुत्सुः कृष्णसंनिधौ॥
