Vaishampayana said: "Then Drupada's priest, having approached the lord of the Kauravas, was received with honor by Dhritarashtra, as well as by Bhishma and Vidura. And, having first spoken of the welfare of the Pandavas, he asked after the welfare of the Kauravas. And he spoke the following words in the midst of all the leaders of Duryodhana's army: 'The eternal duties of kings are known to all of you. Yet I shall recite them as a preamble to what I am about to say. It is known that both Dhritarashtra and Pandu are sons of one and the same father. There is no doubt that each one's share of the paternal wealth should be equal.'"
