Vaishampayana said: When Krishna, having failed to achieve reconciliation, departed from the Kurus to the Pandavas, Vidura, grieving, quietly approached Pritha and said: "O mother of living sons, you know my constant disposition toward mercy and welfare. But Suyodhana does not heed my word, though I appeal to him. That king is supported by the Chedis, the Panchalas and the Kekayas, by Bhima and Arjuna, by Krishna, by Yuyudhana and the twins. Even encamped at Upaplavya, the mighty Yudhishthira, out of love for his kin, desires only dharma, as though he were weak. But this king Dhritarashtra, old in years, cannot be calmed; intoxicated with pride in his son, he walks the path of unrighteousness."
