"Into Bhimasena's food Duryodhana again mixed poison -- kalakuta, fresh, sharp, deliberately gathered, hair-raising. The vaishya's son then told of it, wishing well for the Parthas; but this too, once eaten, Vrikodara digested without harm, for even that most acute poison produced no disturbance at all -- Bhima, of formidable build, digested it as well. Thus Duryodhana, Karna, and Shakuni, son of Subala, sought by many means to destroy those Pandavas; but the Pandavas, subduers of enemies, discerned all of it, and, not revealing it, abided by the counsel of Vidura."
