And arriving at Kamyaka on a car drawn by swift steeds, he saw Yudhishthira the just, sitting with Draupadi at a retired spot, surrounded by his brothers and the Brahmanas.

I desire to hear everything, O Kshatta; describe to me all their acts. "Vidura replied, 'Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, hath gone away covering his face with his cloth. And Bhima, O king, hath gone away looking at his own mighty arms.
Let Sakuni return whence he came. War not, O Bharata, with the sons of Pandu! Duryodhana said, 'O Kshatta, thou art always boasting of the fame of our enemies, deprecating the sons of Dhritarashtra. We know, O Vidura, of whom thou art really fond.

Duryodhana said, 'Come, Kshatta, bring hither Draupadi the dear and loved wife of the Pandavas.

Having vanquished our enemies we have obtained great advantages. Use not harsh words in respect of us. Thou art always willing to make peace with the foes.

It behoveth thee to grant him permission to do so. "Dhritarashtra replied, 'I always follow the counsels of Kshatta, my minister possessed of great wisdom.
