ko hi drupadamāsādya mitraṃ kṣattaḥ sabāndhavam |
na bubhūṣedbhavenārthī gataśrīrapi pārthivaḥ || 23 ||
"Hearing these words of Vidura, Dhritarashtra said, 'Those children are to me as dear as they were to Pandu. Nay, more. O listen to me why my affection for them now is even greater! The heroic sons of Pandu are well and at ease. They have obtained many friends. Their relatives, and others whom they have gained as allies, are all endued with great strength. Who amongst monarchs in prosperity or adversity would not like to have Drupada with his relatives as an ally?'
