"The king, though feeling repugnance, having pondered this in his mind and heard Upayaja's words, the king, knower of every dharma, having honored the rishi worthy of honor, said to Yaja: 'Eighty thousand cows I will give — perform the sacrifice for me, O lord; scorched by enmity with Drona, you alone are able to console me.'"

Here the king overcomes his revulsion for the sake of his goal. It is telling that Drupada "feels repugnance" yet goes to Yaja regardless: the passion for revenge overrides even scruple. Here one sees how a strong desire smooths over conscience: for the sake of what he craves, a man accepts what he would otherwise have rejected. Telling too is the phrase "scorched by enmity": the image rings true — a grievance burns like fire. Thus the scripture shows that one possessed by a goal is ready to compromise even the purity of his means; and Drupada, overcoming his aversion, turns to the less strict priest — only to attain what he desires.
