Karna Urges Duryodhana to Abandon DespondencyCh. 537
At dawn, Karna finds Duryodhana still lying in despair and speaks to him with reason and affection — only the living can defeat enemies, he argues, and he swears on his weapons to kill Arjuna when the thirteen years are done. Duryodhana rises, orders his army prepared, and marches back to Hastinapura in full splendor.
