सेनापति-निर्णयः तथा पाण्डवसेनायाः कुरुक्षेत्रगमनम्
Decision on Command and the Pandavas’ March to Kurukshetra
यदा नाद्रियते वाक््यं सामपूर्व सुयोधन: । तदा मया समानीय भेदिता: सर्वपार्थिवा:,जब मैंने देखा दुर्योधन मेरे सान्त्वनापूर्ण वचनोंका पालन नहीं कर रहा है, तब मैंने सब राजाओंको बुलाकर उनमें फ़ूट डालनेका प्रयत्न किया
yadā nādriyate vākyaṃ sāmapūrvaṃ suyodhanaḥ | tadā mayā samānīya bheditāḥ sarvapārthivāḥ ||
Vāyu said: “When I saw that Suyodhana (Duryodhana) did not heed my conciliatory counsel spoken in the spirit of sāman (gentle persuasion), then I gathered all the kings together and sought to split them—setting them at variance—so that his obstinacy would not carry everyone into a single, ruinous course.”
