Mahabharat

When the Almighty himself is the charioteer

and justice and righteousness

are the wheels of that chariot

the flag atop it

shall always be blessed by me.

May you be victorious.

There is another basis of might, Bheem.

And that is

a tail

which you do not have.

I am on my way, Duryodhan

with the might of Lord Hanuman, son of Pavan Dev, in my arms.

I am on my way!

Splendid, my darling! Splendid! - Uncle!

Brother! I have some bad news, brother Duryodhan!

I have heard from various sages

that Bheem has pleased Lord Hanuman!

And being pleased with him, Lord Hanuman

has provided him with His might, brother Duryodhan.

I do not fear Bheem one bit!

I do not!

My darling!

I have heard that Arjun seeks to acquire the Pashupatastra

brother Duryodhan.

And the Pandavas are gathering an army of competent people.

The Pandavas

will engage in a battle

only when they are successful

in their life of anonymity.

At the dawn

of their life of anonymity

the Pandavas

will be standing before us

and we shall

send them back on an exile.

Uncle, why would the Pandavas come and stand before us?

To protect their wife.

If you lift a trident by its shaft

then the three of its prongs

come along with it.

Just a day before

their life of anonymity begins

Draupadi will be

abducted by us!

The method to heal

the wounds of our army quickly

was taught to us by the Ashwini Kumaras.

And not only that.

They also taught us how to heal horses and elephants.

When the battle comes to a halt at sunset

the soldiers who are wounded

will not die because of the wounds.

We shall heal them by the crack of dawn.

After pleasing Lord Shiva, when Arjun

will acquire the Pashupatastra

we will never get defeated by grandsire and guru Drona.

Panchali, all the sages and guests

have left after having a meal.

I hope you have kept food aside for yourself.

There is sufficient food for me, My Lord.

I have set aside extra food for you.

Enough"

I do not want more.

If it is too much for you then let me have some.

Panchali

you should begin your meal as well.

This is enough for all of us.

Yes, Panchali.

Let me serve

the entire contents of this pot on your plate.

If it is too much for you, you may give me some.

Is there a householder in this hut

who can give a meal to us sages

or has the entire world fallen prey to unrighteousness?!

Great sage Durvasa!

Greetings!

Welcome. - Prince

sweet talk does not satiate a person.

Since you are a householder now

you must provide us sages with a meal.

My disciples and I shall have a meal at your residence.

Princes, arrange for a place to sit for us

and you

must tell your wife

to arrange for a meal for us.

As you say, great sage.

Bheem, Sahadev, arrange for a place to sit for the sages.

Nakul, go and place clean plantain leaves for the meal.

Let me go aid Panchali.

Alright.

Great sage Durvasa is here!

At this time? - Panchali, guests

always arrive unannounced.

We must offer them a meal.

Vasudev made us take a vow

to ensure that sages leave this place contented

so that we can earn merit.

Upon hearing of this vow of ours, great sage Durvasa

must have come here to test us.

But all the food that we had

has already been served by me, My Lord.

I even served food on my plate.

Now, how can we serve him a meal which was intended for us?

That amount would not have sufficed anyhow, Panchali.

More than 100 disciples have accompanied the great sage.

You must prepare something.

I do not even have enough grains with me

that I can prepare something, My Lord.

The one who takes a test

comes with the intention of leaving discontented.

No one can ever make the tester leave feeling utterly contented.

And everyone is familiar with the wrath of great sage Durvasa.

If he is not contented

then he will certainly curse us.

How will we ever be able to give him a satisfactory meal?

Prince! - Yes?

Tell the daughter of Drupad

that after being seated for a meal, great sage Durvasa

does not have the habit of waiting.

Tell her to serve our meaIs this instant

otherwise we shall leave on an empty stomach.

Such a situation will never arise, great sage.
