Vaishampayana said: "Noticing Bhimasena, dearer than life, and skillful Dhananjaya, the evil-minded Duryodhana grieved. Then Vaikartana-Karna and Shakuni, son of Subala, sought by many means to destroy those Pandavas; but the Pandavas, tamers of their foes, recognized all of it, and yet, without betraying it, abided by the counsel of Vidura."

Here scripture again recalls the two forces that clashed in the house of Kuru: Duryodhana's envy and the patient wisdom of the Pandavas. The word "grieved" (paryatapyata) is telling: envy tortures the envier before anyone else -- another's excellence becomes for him a ceaseless torment. Here is the nature of irsha (envy): it burns the one who carries it, giving him no rest at another's good fortune. It is telling, too, that the Pandavas, knowing of the plots against them, stay silent on Vidura's advice: patience and restraint are their weapons. So scripture, having retold the setup, turns toward a new stage: Duryodhana's envy, hitherto hidden, will now drive him to open action against his kinsmen.
