Thou that covetest the wealth of the Pandavas are not a match for them, nor this Suta's son, who is exceedingly wrathful, nor this thy brother Dussasana. Indeed, when Bhishma and Drona and Kripa and Karna and Bhimasena and Dhananjaya and Dhrishtadyumna will be enraged, the population of the earth will be exterminated.

Well, well, never bite thy forefinger, and curl up thy brows. What thou hast to say, say." "Diagoras, I know that thy heart is better than thy speech, and that, much as thou covetest money, thou lovest thy child more.
Thy resolution tallies not with thy acts, since abandoning thy large kingdom thou covetest, O king, a handful of grain! With this handful of barley, O king, wilt thou succeed in gratifying thy guests, gods, Rishis and Pitris? This thy labour, therefore, is bootless.

"'Yudhishthira said, "Discontent, heedless attachment to earthly goods, the absence of tranquillity, might, folly, vanity, and anxiety, affected by these sins, O Bhima, thou covetest sovereignty.
