"Draw up the battle lines and put on your armor, and stand at the door of the assembly while I tell all this to Krishna, untiring in his deeds." Then the hero entered the assembly like a lion entering a mountain cave, and told the great-souled Keshava of this design. Then, looking at Dhritarashtra and Vidura, he told them the plan, as if smiling: "These fools wish to do here a deed departed from dharma and from benefit, condemned by the noble and in no way achievable. These evil-souled fools have assembled and are already ready to begin their folly: they are overcome by desire and anger, subject to the sway of wrath and greed."
