The citizens said: "The house built and burned by the wicked, unwise man hired by Duryodhana — to his own ruin! Alas, shame! Not upright is the mind of Dhritarashtra, who burned the pure, young Pandavas through his minister. But by good fortune this evil-souled, exceedingly ill-minded man has now burned himself, who burned the guiltless, trustful, best of men."

Here the voice of the people passes judgment on the crime. It is telling that the citizens see the truth at once: they blame Duryodhana and Dhritarashtra's "crooked mind," not deceived by the appearance of an unfortunate accident. Here it is shown that the wrongdoing of power cannot be hidden from the people's conscience: however villainy is concealed, it will be recognized and condemned. Telling too is that the people mourn the Pandavas as "pure, guiltless, best of men" and rejoice at the villain's death: the people's judgment coincides with the judgment of dharma. Telling also is the bitter irony known to the reader: they mourn the burned Pandavas, yet these are alive — saved, while their destroyer perished. So the scripture shows that common report, too, bears witness to truth, and that Providence guards the righteous, turning villainy into the villains' own disgrace.
