Dhritarashtra said: -
1. O Duryodhana, think well on what I am telling you, my dear son. You think the wrong way to be the right one like art inexperienced wayfarer.
2. The energy of the five sons of Pandu, which you are desirous of eclipsing, is like the energy of the five elements in their subtle state supporting the universe.
3. Yudhisthira, the son of Kunti, is established on sound and strict virtue in this world. You are not fit to vanquish him without losing your life.
4. Bhimasena too whose equal there it none in strength -you are roaring at that one who is equal to Yama himself in battle.
5. The foremost of the wielder of weapons, that Meru among the mountains, -what intelligent man would fight with that wielder of the Gandiva bow.
6. What man is there in this world whom Dhristadyumna cannot vanquish, shooting arrows among the enemy like the king of the gods hurling his thunderbolt.
7. Satyaki, too, that one hard to be vanquished, who is respected among the Andhakas and the Vrishnis, will destroy your host; for he is ever attached to what is good for the Pandavas.
8. Then again, he who in measure of strength surpasses the three worlds -what intelligent man would fight with that Krishna, whose eyes are like lotuses.
9. Krishna considers his wives, cousins and his is friends, his soul and the earth on one side equal to Dhananjaya on the other.
10. The son of Vasudeva too who is relied on by the son of Pandu, is hard to be Vanquished and the army in which Keshava takes part is invincible even by the whole world.
11. Abide then, my dear, by what your friends who tell you to do only what is Conducive to your interests say. Accept the old Bhishma, the son of Shanthanu, and your grandfather as your guides.
12. Listen Therefore, to what these seekers of good to the Kurus -Drona, Kripa, Vikarna and the great king Vahlika -say and to myself as well.
13. These stand in the same relation to you as I myself and it is proper. that you should regard them in the same light. All of them know what virtue is, and have the same degree of affection for you, O Bharata.
14. Your host headed by your brothers fled from that city of Virata leaving the king to surrender.
15. This tall story that we hear of what occurred in that city -the struggle Between one and many is sufficient proof (of what I say regarding their superiority).
16. Such was the feat of Arjuna single; what will they all united not do? Treat them as your own brothers and give them their rights.
Thus ends the sixty-fifth chapter in the Yanasandhi of the Udyoga Parva.
