Traducción

Drupada said: 'This is no wonder, O brahmin, among the valiant, the great of soul; I am pleased with you, and I desire lasting friendship from you.' Vaishampayana said: 'Thus entreated, Drona set him free, O Bharata, and, having honored him, glad at heart, gave him half the kingdom. And disheartened Drupada settled in Makandi on the bank of the Ganga, together with its territory, and in Kampilya, foremost of cities, ruling the southern Panchalas as far as the river Charmanvati.'

Comentario

Here Drupada yields in words while harboring bitterness in his heart. The contradiction between his courteous reply ('I desire lasting friendship') and his 'disheartened' spirit is telling: the lips speak peace while the heart hoards enmity. This is the cunning of wounded pride: the defeated man feigns reconciliation while plotting revenge. The word 'disheartened' (dinamanah) is telling: behind the outward agreement lies a hidden humiliation that will not fade but will keep gnawing at him. Scripture thus shows that a peace forced without true forgiveness is merely a mask: enmity smolders beneath it, and Drupada, bowing in word, already searches in his heart for a way to destroy Drona. From this very hidden bitterness a new turn of revenge will be born.
