"When the house has been so prepared, and the Pandavas shown the highest honor, settle them and Kunti there, together with their friends; the finest seats, carriages, and beds must be provided for the Pandavas, so that my father will be pleased and so that they, trusting, may enjoy themselves in the city of Varanavata. So must everything be arranged, until the appointed time comes."

Here treachery reaches a vile refinement: the victims must be surrounded with honor, the better to lull them to sleep. It is telling that luxury and care serve not their good but their deception: the seats, the beds, the carriages are bait that makes the trap invisible. In this lies the utmost hypocrisy of evil — it caresses the doomed so that they will not flee. Telling too is the phrase "so that my father will be pleased": Duryodhana carries out his crime with an eye to his indulgent father, and Dhritarashtra's complicity hangs over the whole affair. Thus scripture shows that nothing is more dangerous than evil dressed as hospitality; and the trust of the righteous, so defenseless before such treachery, will be saved only by Vidura's vigilance and by providence.
