As for kings, all of them, though enjoying great prosperity, come at last to the hour of death and are born again to reap the fruits of their good and evil deeds. It therefore behooves you to make peace with Yudhishthira. Let the Pandavas and the Kauravas together rule this earth. O Suyodhana, you ought not to think, 'I am strong!' -- for, O bull among men, it is seen that there are men stronger than those who are usually deemed strong. O scion of the Kuru race, those who are truly strong scarcely regard physical strength as strength at all. As for the Pandavas, endowed with valor equal to that of the gods, they too are accounted strong. In this connection an old story is told, an illustrative tale, concerning Matali, who sought a bridegroom to whom he might give his daughter. The king of the three worlds (Indra) had a charioteer named Matali, whom he loved dearly.
