वैशंपायन उवाच
तथा तु दृष्ट्वा बहु तत् तद् एवं; रोरूयमाणां कुररीम् इवार्ताम् ॥
नोचुर् वचः साध्व् अथ वाप्य् असाधु; महीक्षितो धार्तराष्ट्रस्य भीताः ॥
दृष्ट्वा तु तान् पार्थिवपुत्रपौत्रांस्; तूष्णींभूतान् धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रः ॥
स्मयन्न् इवेदं वचनं बभाषे; पाञ्चालराजस्य सुतां तदानीम् ॥
तिष्ठत्व् अयं प्रश्न उदारसत्त्वे; भीमे ऽर्जुने सहदेवे तथैव ॥
पत्यौ च ते नकुले याज्ञसेनि; वदन्त्व् एते वचनं त्वत्प्रसूतम् ॥
अनीश्वरं विब्रुवन्त्व् आर्यमध्ये; युधिष्ठिरं तव पाञ्चालि हेतोः ॥
कुर्वन्तु सर्वे चानृतं धर्मराजं; पाञ्चालि त्वं मोक्ष्यसे दासभावात् ॥

Seeing her thus tormented, wailing like an osprey, the lords of the earth said not a word -- neither "true" nor "false" -- fearing the son of Dhritarashtra. And he, seeing the sons and grandsons of kings fallen silent, as though smiling, then said to the daughter of the king of Panchala: "Let this question rest upon the noble Bhima, upon Arjuna, Sahadeva, and upon your husband Nakula, O Yajnaseni; let them utter the word born of you. Let them proclaim, amid the noble, for your sake, Panchali, that Yudhishthira is not your lord; let all of them make Dharmaraja a liar -- and then, Panchali, you shall be freed from slavery."

Duryodhana weaves a snare subtler than the last: freedom is offered at the price of betrayal -- let the brothers declare their elder a liar, and the chains will fall away. Evil, unable to overcome directly, tempts from within, turning the very act of deliverance into an instrument of discord. Here a treachery worse than violence is revealed: it aims not at the body but at loyalty, and wants the one being saved to be saved at the cost of the honor of her saviors. It is telling that Duryodhana "smiles": he believes he has driven the righteous into a dead end where every choice is ruin. The verse teaches discernment of temptation wearing the mask of mercy; and that there is a freedom which cannot be accepted, because its price is betrayal of the truth.
