(ζ) (V, 126). Duryodhana complained that Kṛṣṇa always censured him; in the match of dice blame could not be attached to him. He quoted this saying of Mātaṅga, “one should always keep himself erect . . .” (V, 127). Kṛṣṇa indignantly answered Duryodhana, mentioning his offences against the Pāṇḍavas,-Vāraṇāvata, etc. (η).

In the same way they ought to bind Dhṛtarāṣṭra, etc. (κ) (V, 128).
