"And Dhrishtadyumna of Panchala, and the great chariot-warrior Shikhandin, and the valiant Yuyudhana, unassailable even by the gods. I wish to hear in detail, O treasury of asceticism, exactly what the Kurus and the Pandavas did." Vaishampayana said: When Dasharha had gone back, King Duryodhana then said to Karna, Duhshasana, and Shakuni: "Adhokshaja has gone to the Parthas without accomplishing his task. Surely, overcome with anger, he will tell them everything without fail. For my quarrel with the Pandavas is welcome to Vasudeva, and Bhimasena and Arjuna stand in accord with Dasharha's counsel."

The chapter shows how news of the Pandavas encamped on Kurukshetra turns Duryodhana's fear into military mobilization. He understands that Krishna will tell the Pandavas everything, yet instead of yielding he chooses to prepare for confrontation: camps, roads, weapons, troops, and a city roaring like the ocean before a storm.
