Vidura Describes Each


O Yudhishthira, O bull of the Bharata race, know this to be my opinion, that one that is vanquished by sinful means need not be pained by such defeat. 

  1. Thou knowest every rule of morality; 
  2. Dhananjaya is ever victorious in battle; 
  3. Bhimasena is the slayer of foes; 
  4. Nakula is the gatherer of wealth; 
  5. Sahadeva hath administrative talents,
  6. Dhaumya is the foremost of all conversant with the vedas; and 
  7. well-behaved Draupadi is conversant with virtue and economy.
Ye are attached to one another and feel delight at one another's sight and enemies can not separate you from one another, and ye are contented. Therefore, who is there that will not envy ye?
