Udyogaparva
BUT the mighty-armed
Keshava when he heard these
words of Bhima, packed with mildness, words such as those lips had never uttered
before, laughing a little, - for
it seemed to him as the
lightness in a mountain or coldness in
fire, to him the Showrian, the brother of Rama, the wielder of the bow of horn,
- thus
He spake to Bhima even as he sat sub- merged with sudden pity, awoke the heat
and flame of him with his words as wind the fire hearteneth.
The Mahabharata, Udyogaparva, 75. 1-3
(Insert
the above passage on page 151,
Vol. 3 after the second para.)
But when Sanjaya had departed, thus spake
the just King, Yudhishthira to the Dasarhan, the Bull of all the Satvatas.
"Now is that hour arrived of friends, O lover of thy friends; nor see I any
but thee who may deliver us in calamity. For in thee reposing our trust
fearlessly we challenge Dhritarashtra’s son with his councillors, knowing his
arrogance to be but froth. For even as thou protectest the Vrishnis in all their
calamities, so too the Pandavas claim thy guardian care; protect us from peril
vast. Krishna sayeth: Behold me, O great-armed tell what thou has to tell, since
whatsoever thou sayest, O Bharata, I will do it utterly.
The
Mahabharata, Udyogaparva,
72.1-5(This
new passage may be read after
