the news that Purusottama N膩r膩ya峁嘺 has arrived as an
envoy from the Pandavas, at which Duryodhana warns
the assembly not to pay any respect to the herdsman at
the risk of a fine. He finds a way to insult K峁涐梗峁嘺 by
engaging himself in looking at a picture scroll portraying
the indignity offered to Draupadi by snatching her hair
and apparel (Draupadike艣膩m bar膩kar峁�a峁嘺).
The description shows the picture to be realistically and
minutely painted. At the entry of K峁涐梗峁嘺 in the Chamber,
all the assembly rises to honour him, and Duryodhana
himself being confused falls from his throne. The picture-
scroll is then taken away at the suggestion from K峁涐梗峁嘺.
When K峁涐梗峁嘺 tells Duryodhana about the message from
P膩峁囜笉avas as to their share in the kingdom, the latter
criticizes them severely, and both K峁涐梗峁嘺 and Duryodhana
engage in some wordy war distinguished by severe
sarcasm and a desire to inflict personal insult. Duryodhana
orders his brothers, Sakuni and the kings assembled, to
put K峁涐梗峁嘺 under arrest, but none dares obey him. So
Duryodhana himself tries to bind K峁涐梗峁嘺 by nooses, but
on K峁涐梗峁嘺 assuming cosmic forms all his efforts prove
futile and impotent, and he walks away. K峁涐梗峁嘺, however,
becomes too much enraged and calls Sudar艣ana, his
chief missile, to extirpate the Kauravas. Sudar艣ana
appears on the stage in human form, pays homage to
his master, and sets out to kill Duryodhana, but
remembers the great divine cause of killing a host of
sinners and tyrants and thus to lighten the burden of
the earth, to be served by K峁涐梗峁嘺 and tells the latter
Krsna
about it. K峁涐梗峁嘺 is pacified and asks Sudar艣ana to go to
his abode. Meanwhile all the other missiles of Krsna,
viz., 艢膩rnga (his bow), Kaumodaki (his mace),
P膩帽cajanya, (his conchshell), and Nandaka (his sword),
also appear on the stage and are told by Sudar艣ana to
return to their respective places, as K峁涐梗峁嘺 was no longer
wrathful and there was no necessity for the manifestation
of their valour. After their departure, Garuda appears
on the stage, but returns on being told of the pacification
of K峁涐梗峁嘺's anger. Sudar艣ana also follows Garuda.
After Sudar艣ana has gone, K峁涐梗峁嘺 also sets out to go, but is
detained by the old king Dh峁泃ar膩峁ａ弓ra, who falls at his feet
and thus honours the Lord. The usual epilogue brings
the play to its close.
