How are you my friend Suyodhana (Kim bho Suyodhana Sakhe)

Language English

Sloka:

Entering the ornate courtroom of the Pandava palace, Duryodhana mistakes the floor for a pool and a pool for floor, at which Bheema laughs aloud and speaks thus.

How are you my friend Suyodhana,

the ocean of valour

Shed your confusion fast, come here

and you may occupy this throne

Alas! Why are you walking with your robes raised

when there is no water?

(Chithratharamorkkunneram) Wonder! Come to think of it

Language English

Duryodhana: (chithratharamorkkunneram)

Wonder! Come to think of it

your unkind thoughts

It’s due to my indifference

these people are living happily

My dear, why are you sad?

With your father and mother

you go back to the palace

I will easily humiliate them

and then join you.

(Vallabha Mullasaropama) My husband, Cupid-like, you hear

Language English

Bhanumathi: (vallabha mullasaropama)

My husband, Cupid-like, you hear

my words, my good man

Please do not feel offended

if I am not heeding your words

Thinking of Draupadi’s good fortune

O King, I am exceedingly feeling

anger, jealousy, shame and sadness;

O Kourava chief, I have no other feelings

(Parvana sasivadane) O full-moon faced, lotus-eyed

Language English

Sloka

After being invited to attend the Rajasuya yaga and while staying happily in the top tower in

Indraprastha, seeing the Kalpavriksha trees and feeling the light breeze on a moonlit night the

valiant Duryodhana spoke to his wife thus.

(Parvana sasivadane)

O full-moon faced, lotus-eyed

see the garden in the Pandava palace

The vines swaying in the gentle breeze
