Udyogaparva

 

                      BUT the mighty-armed Keshava when he heard these words of Bhima, packed with mildness, words such as those lips had never uttered before, laughing a little, - for it seemed to him as the lightness in a mountain or coldness in fire, to him the Showrian, the brother of Rama, the wielder of the bow of horn, - thus He spake to Bhima even as he sat sub- merged with sudden pity, awoke the heat and flame of him with his words as wind the fire hearteneth.


The Mahabharata, Udyogaparva, 75. 1-3

(Insert the above passage on page 151,
Vol. 3 after the second para.)


        But when Sanjaya had departed, thus spake the just King, Yudhishthira to the Dasarhan, the Bull of all the Satvatas. "Now is that hour arrived of friends, O lover of thy friends; nor see I any but thee who may deliver us in calamity. For in thee reposing our trust fearlessly we challenge Dhritarashtra’s son with his councillors, knowing his arrogance to be but froth. For even as thou protectest the Vrishnis in all their calamities, so too the Pandavas claim thy guardian care; protect us from peril vast. Krishna sayeth: Behold me, O great-armed tell what thou has to tell, since whatsoever thou sayest, O Bharata, I will do it utterly.
