"The Pandavas have been sent by Dhritarashtra to Varanavata; they will make merry at the festival by his command. Go this very day to Varanavata on a swift chariot yoked with donkeys — see to it. Once there, have a most secluded and costly four-halled house built near the armory; and have all manner of combustible material — hemp, sarja-resin, and the rest — brought there."

Here evil reveals its calculation and haste. Telling is the urgency — "go this very day" — the villain hastens to get ahead of his victims, so the trap will be ready before they arrive. Telling too is the location: a secluded house near the armory — seclusion so that no one interferes, the armory a plausible pretext for the combustible materials being gathered. Here we see how meticulously evil arranges its affairs: treachery is never careless, it is calculating and provident. Thus scripture reveals the cold deliberation behind this crime — and the guilt of its plotters weighs all the heavier for it.
