तत्र मां यमजौ दूराद् आलोक्य ललितौ किल ॥
बाहुभिः परिगृह्णीतां शोचन्तौ सहिताव् उभौ ॥
उवाच सहदेवस् तु तत्र मां विस्मयन्न् इव ॥
इदं द्वारम् इतो गच्छ राजन्न् इति पुनः पुनः ॥
नामधेयानि रत्नानां पुरस्तान् न श्रुतानि मे ॥
यानि दृष्टानि मे तस्यां मनस् तपति तच् च मे ॥
tatra māṃ yamajau dūrād ālokya lalitau kila ||
bāhubhiḥ parigṛhṇītāṃ śocantau sahitāv ubhau ||
uvāca sahadevas tu tatra māṃ vismayann iva ||
idaṃ dvāram ito gaccha rājann iti punaḥ punaḥ ||
nāmadheyāni ratnānāṃ purastān na śrutāni me ||
yāni dṛṣṭāni me tasyāṃ manas tapati tac ca me ||
"— there the twins, seeing me from afar, graceful as they were, caught hold of me with their arms, both together, grieving in pretense. And Sahadeva, as if in astonishment, kept saying to me there again and again: 'Here is the door, go this way, O king.' And the names of the jewels, never heard by me before, which I saw in that hall — over that too my mind burns."

The complaint closes with the fact that even the previously unknown names of gems burn Duryodhana. It is telling how petty and all-consuming envy is: it is tormented not only by another's power but by another's rarities, even the mere names of another's wealth. The verse teaches that this affliction knows neither satiety nor limit — it finds fuel in everything, down to the smallest trifle. And the twins' "pretended grief," teasing their guest with feigned concern, is the final sting: mockery disguised as sympathy wounds more than open mockery does. Thus the chapter reveals the envious man in the fullness of his torment — burning equally from the great and from the trivial; and it is this insatiable fire that Shakuni will fan into the blaze that consumes the dynasty.
