- 2:48Speaker 1: So his course be free from sin, loss of realm

- 4:03Speaker 1: in a meek and friendly guise, ask him to restore
- 4:07Speaker 1: the kingdom on the sacred Gemuna's shore. Either king may
- 4:10Speaker 1: rule his empire as in happy days of your Krishna
- 4:16Speaker 1: uttered words of wisdom, pregnant with his peaceful thought, for
- 4:20Speaker 1: in peace and not by bloodshed. Still it is tish

- 4:31Speaker 1: chief who bore a plow rose and speck the blood
- 4:35Speaker 1: of Brushni's mantled over his lofty brow. Ye have listened,
- 4:41Speaker 1: pious monarchs, to my brother's gentle word love evers to
- 4:45Speaker 1: gud it is tir and to proudhest Dina's lord for
- 4:50Speaker 1: his realm by dark blue Zemuna gooded is der held

- 4:57Speaker 1: shore and once more or in love and friendship. Either
- 5:02Speaker 1: prince may rule his share, for the lands are broad
- 5:05Speaker 1: and fertile. Each realm is rich and fair. Speak the
- 5:10Speaker 1: envoy to Hastina with our love and greetings. Kind Let
- 5:14Speaker 1: him speak it. His der sushes seek to know to
- 5:17Speaker 1: Ryudan's mind. Make obeisance unto Vishmah and to Dronah, true
- 5:22Speaker 1: and bold, unto creepa archer Kern, and to chieftains young
- 5:27Speaker 1: and old, to the sons of tretraashtre rulers of the
- 5:32Speaker 1: cruel end, righteous, indiar, kingly duties stout of heart and
- 5:36Speaker 1: strong of end, to the princes and to burghers gathered
- 5:41Speaker 1: in the council hall. Let him speak it, his der
- 5:44Speaker 1: sushes clean. It is trescause to all speak. He not
- 5:49Speaker 1: in futile anger, For Durudan holds the power, and it
- 5:53Speaker 1: is disred. Were folly in this sad and luckless hour
- 5:58Speaker 1: by his dearest friends dissuted, but by rage or madness
- 6:01Speaker 1: driven he hath played and lost his empire. May his
- 6:05Speaker 1: folly be forgiven in repressed spacious empire. Now Durudan deems
- 6:11Speaker 1: his own by his tears and soft entreaty, let it
- 6:15Speaker 1: his tears seek the throne open war, I do not
- 6:18Speaker 1: counsel humbly seek Durudhan's grace. War will not restore the empire,
- 6:24Speaker 1: nor the gambler's lost replace. Thus with cold and cruel candor,
- 6:29Speaker 1: stalwart Waldeve cried, ratful Rose the brave, saidh thicky fiercely.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Thus to him, replied Tree, said thicky speech shame unto
- 6:41Speaker 1: the halting chieftain, who thus pleads to Durhan's part. Timid council,
- 6:47Speaker 1: Valdeve speaks, a omen's team with heart oft from warlike stalk,
- 6:52Speaker 1: arise at a wakeling chief who bands the knee, as
- 6:55Speaker 1: with your fruitless sapling, spring it from a fruitful tree,
- 7:00Speaker 1: from a heart so faint and craven. Faint and graven
- 7:03Speaker 1: words must flow monarchs in their pride and glory, least
- 7:07Speaker 1: not to such counsel law couldst thou Impius Valdeve meets
- 7:12Speaker 1: these potent deaths of fame on it is tear, pious
- 7:15Speaker 1: hearted cast this undeserved blame, challenged by his wily foemen
- 7:20Speaker 1: and by dark misfortune. Crost trusting to their faith, it
- 7:24Speaker 1: is their plaid. A righteous came and lost challenge from
- 7:28Speaker 1: a crowned monarch, can a crowned king decline canikshata, warrior,
- 7:33Speaker 1: fatom fraud in sons of royal line, natless, his surrendered empire,
- 7:38Speaker 1: true to fate and plighted word lived for years in
- 7:42Speaker 1: Patley's forests, in repressed, his mighty lord, past his ears
- 7:47Speaker 1: of weary exile. Now he claims his realm of old,
- 7:51Speaker 1: claims it not as humble suppliant, but as king and warrior, bold,
- 7:57Speaker 1: past his ear of dark councilment, bolding Tis claims his
- 8:01Speaker 1: own proud Duludan, Thou must render in Repressed's jeweled throne.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Wishma councils, drawn arches, Crepa pleads for right in vain,
- 8:12Speaker 1: False Turudan will not render sinful conquest, troughtful gain, open war.
- 8:18Speaker 1: I therefore counsel ruthless and relentless war. Grace we seek
- 8:22Speaker 1: not when we meet them speeding in our battle car
- 8:27Speaker 1: and our weapons not entreaties. Shall our foemen force to yield,
- 8:31Speaker 1: yield it iss rightful kingdom or the parish on the field.
- 8:36Speaker 1: False to Urudon and his forces fall beneath our battle shock,
- 8:41Speaker 1: as beneath the bolt of thunder falls the crushed and
- 8:44Speaker 1: riven rock, who shall meet the helm lurgeon in the
- 8:48Speaker 1: gory field of war. Krishna, it is fiery Discus mounted
- 8:52Speaker 1: on his battle car, who shall face the twin born
- 8:56Speaker 1: brothers by the mighty Vi Malad and the vengeful chief
- 9:00Speaker 1: sighed Tickie with his bow and arrow's dread Ansi and
- 9:04Speaker 1: Rupert wields his weapon peerless in the field of fight,
- 9:08Speaker 1: and his brave son born of Ugny owns an all
- 9:10Speaker 1: conjuming miThe of Himigneu, son of Virgin, whom the fairs
- 9:16Speaker 1: of a Draboor, and whose happy nuptials brought us from
- 9:20Speaker 1: far to Ourka's cigard shore Man on art nor bright
- 9:24Speaker 1: immortals came the youthful hero face when with more than
- 9:27Speaker 1: Urgent's proise Ofhimnu leads the Rays Tretraashtra's sons we conquer,
- 9:33Speaker 1: and Gunter's wily son vanquished current dull Old honored for
- 9:38Speaker 1: his deeds of valor done when the fierce contested battle
- 9:42Speaker 1: and redeem it his tears own places the exile pious
- 9:46Speaker 1: hearted on his father's ancient throne, and no sins I
- 9:50Speaker 1: Tikey reckons slaughter of the mortal foe. But to beg
- 9:54Speaker 1: a grace of women were immortal scene and war speed.
- 9:58Speaker 1: We then, unto our duty, let our impious form and yield.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Or the fiery son of Sini meets them on the
- 10:04Speaker 1: battle field for trupet speech. Fair Panchal's ancient monarch rose
- 10:14Speaker 1: his secret thoughts to tell from his lips the words
- 10:17Speaker 1: of wisdom with a graceful accent. Fell much I fear
- 10:22Speaker 1: thou speakest truly hard is carused. Tuborn rays vain the hope,
- 10:27Speaker 1: the effort futile to beseech to Rudan's grace. Tretarashtra pleaded
- 10:32Speaker 1: vainly fable, Easy's fitful star, ancient Vishma riteous Drona cannot
- 10:38Speaker 1: stop this fatal war. Archer current tossed for battle, moved
- 10:43Speaker 1: by jealousy and pride, Deep Saconni falls and wily still
- 10:47Speaker 1: supports Tourydon's side. Vain is Valadive's counsel. Vainly shall our
- 10:53Speaker 1: envoy plead half his empire, proud to Ruden yields not
- 10:57Speaker 1: in his boundless grief. In his he deems our mildness,
- 11:01Speaker 1: faint and feeble hearted. Fear and our sweyt will fan
- 11:05Speaker 1: his glory and his arrogance will cheer. Therefore, let our
- 11:09Speaker 1: many heralds travel near and travel far, seek alliance of
- 11:13Speaker 1: all monarchs in the great impending oar unto brave and
- 11:18Speaker 1: noble chieftains, onto nations east and west, nor in south
- 11:22Speaker 1: to warlike races. Speed our message and request Meanwhile, peace
- 11:28Speaker 1: and offered friendship. We before durudhan place, and my priest
- 11:32Speaker 1: will seek hastina strive to win Durudhan's grace. If he
- 11:36Speaker 1: renders in repressed, peace will crown the happy land, or
- 11:40Speaker 1: our troops will shake the empire from the east to
- 11:43Speaker 1: western strand vainly where Panchal's Brahmans sandwich masses of peace
- 11:50Speaker 1: vainly ours does noz elders that the fatal feuds should cease.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Proud Durudhan to his kinsmen would not yield their proper share.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Pandu's son should not surrender, for they had their will
- 12:01Speaker 1: to dare fatal war and dire destruction. Did the mighty
- 12:06Speaker 1: gods ordain till the kings and armed nations chewed the
- 12:10Speaker 1: red and rieking plain. Krishna, in his righteous effort, sought
- 12:14Speaker 1: for wisdom from above, strove to stop the war of nations,
- 12:18Speaker 1: and to end the feuth in love and to far
- 12:22Speaker 1: Hastina's palace, Christna went to sue for peace, raised his
- 12:26Speaker 1: voice against the slaughter, begged that strife and feud south sease.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Five Christna's speech at Hastina, Silence, said the listening chieftains
- 12:38Speaker 1: in Hastina's council hall. With the voice of rolling thunder,
- 12:42Speaker 1: Krishna spake unto them all. Listen my Jichitastra chorus, Great
- 12:48Speaker 1: and ancient king, seek not war and death of kinsmen,
- 12:52Speaker 1: ward of peace and love. VI breing midst the wide
