धृतराष्ट्राश्रमगमनम् — The Pandavas’ Procession to Dhritarashtra’s Hermitage
अपनी महिमासे कभी च्युत न होनेवाले राजा पाण्डुको तुम मरुद्गणोंसे भी श्रेष्ठतम समझो। विदुर धर्मके अंश थे। राजा युधिष्ठिर भी धर्मके ही अंश हैं ।। कलिं दुर्योधनं विद्धि शकुनिं द्वापरं तथा । दुःशासनादीन विद्धि त्वं राक्षसान् शुभदर्शने
kalim duryodhanaṃ viddhi śakuniṃ dvāparaṃ tathā | duḥśāsanādīn viddhi tvaṃ rākṣasān śubhadarśane ||
Vyāsa said: “Know King Pāṇḍu—never fallen from his own majesty—to be superior even to the hosts of the Maruts. Vidura was a portion of Dharma, and King Yudhiṣṭhira too is a portion of Dharma. Know Duryodhana to embody Kali, and Śakuni to embody Dvāpara. And you, O auspicious-seeing one, understand Duḥśāsana and the others to be of rākṣasa-nature.”
