Having effected a rather speedy settlement and permitted by Yudhiṣṭhira, Sañjaya, the pure-souled and of humane and virtuous speech, returned with the message to Duryodhana.²⁶ ‘Cede Indraprastha or give battle.’ Then with Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s permission he entered the palace and unfolded all that had taken place. Questioned as to the vulnerable and non-vulnerable points of the Pāṇḍava army, Sañjaya spoke of their superiority in possessing Kṛṣṇa on their side with his disc and his power of producing illusion.²⁷
