Adhyāya 45 — Duryodhana’s Distress, Śakuni’s Counsel, and the Summons for Dyūta
इमं॑ त्वस्य न शक्ष्यामि क्षन्तुमद्य व्यतिक्रमम् । अवलेपाद् वधाहईस्य समग्रे राजमण्डले,“परंतु आज इसने अहंकारवश समस्त राजाओंके सामने मेरे साथ जो दुर्व्यवहार किया है, उसे मैं कभी क्षमा न कर सकूँगा
imaṁ tv asya na śakṣyāmi kṣantum adya vyatikramam | avalepād vadhārhasya samagre rājamaṇḍale ||
Vaiśampāyana said: “Today I cannot forgive this transgression of his. Out of sheer arrogance, in the full assembly of kings, he has behaved toward me with such insolence that he deserves death.”
