Bhishma said 'Formerly, O givers of honours, Duryodhana while burning within at your and your brothers' prosperity at Indraprastha, and for the jeers he received for his mistakes at the grand palace, had asked his father Dhritarashtra the same question. Hear what transpired at that time, O Bharata.
भीष्म उवाच पुरा दुर्योधनेनेह धृतराष्ट्राय मानद। आख्यातं तप्यमानेन श्रियं दृष्ट्वा तथागताम्॥ इन्द्रप्रस्थे महाराज तव सभ्रातृकस्य ह। सभायां चाह वचनं तत् सर्वं शृणु भारत॥
