Udyoga Parva, Adhyāya 72 — Bhīmasena’s counsel on conciliation and Duryodhana’s disposition
पितामहस्य द्रोणस्य विदुरस्थ च धीमत:ः । ब्राह्मणानां च साधूनां राज्ञश्ष नगरस्य च,राजन! आप दानशील, कोमलस्वभाव, मन और इन्द्रियोंको वशमें रखनेवाले, स्वभावत:ः धर्मपरायण तथा सबके हैं, तो भी क्रूर दुर्योधनने उस समय पितामह भीष्म, द्रोणाचार्य, बुद्धिमान् विदुर, साधु, ब्राह्मण, राजा धृतराष्ट्र, नगरनिवासी जनसमुदाय तथा कुरुकुलके सभी श्रेष्ठ पुरुषोंके देखते-देखते आपको जूएमें छलसे ठग लिया और अपने उस कुकृत्यके लिये वह अबतक लज्जाका अनुभव नहीं करता है
pitāmahasya droṇasya vidurasya ca dhīmataḥ | brāhmaṇānāṃ ca sādhūnāṃ rājñaś ca nagarasya ca ||
Yudhiṣṭhira said: “In the very presence of the grandsire Bhīṣma, of Droṇa, of the wise Vidura, of virtuous brāhmaṇas and saintly men, and even before the king and the citizens of the city—Duryodhana, though you are generous, gentle by nature, self-controlled in mind and senses, and innately devoted to dharma and the welfare of all—deceived you at dice and robbed you by fraud. Yet even now he feels no shame for that wrongdoing.”
