उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय ५४: दुर्योधनस्य धृतराष्ट्रं प्रति बलप्रशंसन-युक्तः आश्वासनवादः
Duryodhana’s Reassurance and Force-Praise to Dhritarashtra
मेरी सम्पूर्ण सेनाको इन्द्र भी नहीं जीत सकते। स्वयम्भू ब्रह्माजी भी इसका नाश नहीं कर सकते ।। युधिष्ठिर: पुरं हित्वा पञ्च ग्रामान् स याचति । भीतो हि मामकात् सैन्यात् प्रभावाच्चैव मे विभो,प्रभो! युधिष्ठिर तो मेरी सेना तथा प्रभावसे इतने डर गये हैं कि राजधानी या नगर लेनेकी बात छोड़कर अब पाँच गाँव माँगने लगे हैं
duryodhana uvāca | merī sampūrṇāṃ senāṃ indro 'pi na jetum arhati | svayambhūḥ brahmāpi asyā nāśaṃ na kartum arhati || yudhiṣṭhiraḥ puraṃ hitvā pañca grāmān sa yācate | bhīto hi māmakāt sainyāt prabhāvāc caiva me vibho prabho | yudhiṣṭhiraḥ mama sainyāt prabhāvāc caiva bhītaḥ san rājadhānīṃ nagaraṃ vā parityajya idānīṃ pañca grāmān eva yācate ||
Duryodhana said: “Even Indra cannot conquer my entire army; even the Self-born Brahmā cannot destroy it. Yudhiṣṭhira, abandoning the demand for the city, now begs for five villages. For he is afraid—afraid of my forces and of my power. Thus, leaving aside talk of taking the capital, he has come to asking only for five villages.”
