But I do not wish to inform Vidura of it even by a change of muscle. It was, therefore, O son, that I was applauding the Pandavas in Vidura's presence, so that he might not know even by a sign what is in my mind. Now that Vidura hath gone away, this is the time, O Suyodhana (Duryodhana), for telling me what thou hast hit upon, and what, O Radheya (Karna), thou too hast hit upon.' > — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - [Previous: 1.193.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.193.1) - [Next: 1.193.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.193.3) - [Up: 1.193](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.193) ## Translations (1) - [The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa~en-ganguli.1.203.2) — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Bhāratabhāvadīpa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa!nilakantha.1.201.2) — Nīlakaṇṭha Caturdhara 1650, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Vulgate (Nīlakaṇṭha's text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.1.201.2) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.193.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.193.2) · Pramāṇa
