धृताराष्ट्रात्मजो राजा पर्यतप्यत दुर्मतिः ॥ ३.७.१ ॥
Having heard that Vidura had returned and been well consoled by the king, the king, the evil-minded son of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, was tormented.

स सौबलेयमानाय्य कर्णदुःशासनौ तथा ।
अब्रवीद्वचनं राजा प्रविश्याबुद्धिजं तमः ॥ ३.७.२ ॥

विदुरः पाण्डुपुत्राणां सुहृद्विद्वान्हिते रतः ॥ ३.७.३ ॥
Here is the minister Vidura, returned, esteemed by Dhṛtarāṣṭra; a friend of the sons of Pāṇḍu, learned, devoted to their welfare.

पाण्डवानयने तावन्मन्त्रयध्वं हितं मम ॥ ३.७.४ ॥
As long as Vidura does not turn his mind back again, deliberate for my good about bringing the Pāṇḍavas back.

If I see the sons of Pṛthā arrived here somehow, I shall again waste away, lifeless and without possessions.

विषमुद्बन्धनं चैव शस्त्रमग्निप्रवेशनम् ।
करिष्ये न हि तानृद्धान्पुनर्द्रष्टुमिहोत्सहे ॥ ३.७.६ ॥
I shall do poison, hanging, a weapon, or entering fire; for I do not have the courage to see them again here, prosperous.

किं बालिशमतिं राजन्नास्थितोसि विशांपते ।
गतास्ते समयं कृत्वा नैतदेवं भविष्यति ॥ ३.७.७ ॥
O king, lord of the people, why do you adopt such a foolish mind? They have agreed to the term and have gone; this will not happen this way.

सत्यवाक्येः स्विताः सर्वे पाण्डवा भरतषभ ।
पितुस्ते वचनं तात न ग्रहीष्यन्ति कर्हिचिति ॥ ३.७.८ ॥
O bull of the Bharatas, all those Pandavas are bound by their truthful words. Dear son, they will never accept your father's word.

अथवा ते ग्रहीष्यन्ति पुनरेष्यन्ति वा पुरम् ।
निरस्य समयं सर्वे पणोऽस्माकं भविष्यति ॥ ३.७.९ ॥
Either they will accept it, or they will return to the city. Having cast aside the agreed term, the wager will be ours.

काममीक्षामहे सर्वे दुर्योधन तवेप्सितम् ।
ऐकमत्यं हि नो राजन्सर्वेषामेव लक्षये ॥ ३.७.१२ ॥
As you wish, Duryodhana; we all look toward what you desire. O king, I perceive that there is unanimity among all of us.
3.7.13
नागमिष्यन्ति ते धीरा अकृत्वा कालसंविदम् ।
आगमिष्यन्ति चेन्मोहात्पुनर्द्यूतेन ताञ्जय ॥ ३.७.१३ ॥
Without making an agreement about the time, those steadfast men will not come. If, out of delusion, they come again to the dice game, conquer them.

एवमुक्तस्तु कर्णेन राजा दुर्योधनस्तदा ।
नातिहृष्टमनाः क्षिप्रमभवत्स पराङ्मुखः ॥ ३.७.१४ ॥
When Karṇa had spoken thus, King Duryodhana, not greatly pleased at heart, quickly turned away from him.

निर्विवादा भविष्यन्ति धार्तराष्ट्रास्तथा वयम् ॥ ३.७.१९ ॥
When all of them have been pacified and gone by an unknown path, the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra and we shall be free from dispute.
3.7.20
यावदेव परिद्यूना यावच्छोकपरायणाः ।
यावन्मित्रविहीनाश्च तावद्गच्छाम माचिरम् ॥ ३.७.२० ॥
As long as they are worn down, devoted to grief, and bereft of allies, let us go without delay.
