And, Oh, our families, our (ancestral) usages, our virtue and prosperity, are all doomed where this sinful wretch supported by wretches as sinful aspireth to the kingdom! And, Oh, how can happiness be there where these are not! Duryodhana beareth malice towards all superiors, hath taken leave of good conduct, and quarreleth with those that are near to him in blood. Covetous and vain and mean, he is cruel by nature. The whole earth is doomed when Duryodhana becometh its ruler. Thither, therefore, let us proceed whither the merciful and high-minded sons of Pandu with passions under control and victorious over foes, and possessed of modesty and renown, and devoted to pious practices, repair!' > — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - [Previous: 3.1.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.3.1.14) - [Next: 3.1.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.3.1.16) - [Up: 3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.3.1) ## Translations (1) - [The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa~en-ganguli.3.1.5) — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, English ## Other recensions (2) - [Southern recension](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*southern.3.1.17) — Sanskrit - [Vulgate (Nīlakaṇṭha's text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.3.1.17) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.3.1.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.3.1.15) · Pramāṇa
