Vidura told them that he had been forsaken by Dhṛtarāṣṭra, and gave them advice how to secure adherents (III, 5).—§ 313: After Vidura had gone Dhṛtarāṣṭra repented and fell down senseless, and having regained consciousness caused Sañjaya to bring Vidura back (III, 6). Duryodhana, being afraid where Vidura had returned, held counsel with Çakuni, Karṇa, and Duḥçāsana who were of opinion that the Pāṇḍavas would remain the promised space of time in the wood. As Duryodhana, however, was not contented, Karṇa proposed to set out and slay them. When they had gone out Kṛṣṇa Dvaipāyana came and commanded them to desist, and then before Dhṛtarāṣṭra (III, 7). Vyāsa warned against permitting Duryodhana to try to slay them (III, 8).—§ 314: As Dhṛtarāṣṭra sat, Vyāsa told him that he cast off his senseless son, Vyāsa told him of the story of Indra saw Surabhi weeping in heaven, and when he asked why she wept, she told him that one of her sons was being exceedingly harassed by a husbandman, though he had 1,000 offspring, and she was more sorry for him than all, yet she felt great pity for the husbandman who poured down a shower of tears, and the husbandman’s work was hard, and she pitied the Pāṇḍavas in their exile.
