They replied, "So be it," and all went back to their dwellings. When the night had passed, Karna came to the king and, laughing, said to Duryodhana: "A means has been found; hear it, lord of men. All the herdsmen's camps in Dvaitavana are waiting for you, O king; under the pretext of a ghosha-yatra we shall go there without doubt. For it is always fitting for a king to go to the herds, and so your father ought to permit you." As the two of them were thus discussing the decision about the ghosha-yatra, Shakuni, king of Gandhara, said, as though laughing: "This is the means I have found for a harmless journey. The king will permit us, and will even urge us on. All the herdsmen's camps in Dvaitavana are waiting for you, lord of men; under the pretext of a ghosha-yatra we shall go there without doubt." Then they all laughed, clapped each other's palms, and, having settled on just this, went to the best of the Kurus.
