The Cæsar of Democracy was beaming, despite his disappointment a persistent beam of the flesh.
And having routed the whole army of the Kuru like a violent wind scattering the clouds, that slayer of foes, Partha, regardfully addressing the prince of Matsya, said, 'It is known to thee alone, O child, that the sons of Pritha are all living with thy father.
