30Seeing the bad character of the Kurus and hearing what should not have been said, the Unfallen, hard now to look at, seized with anger, laughed again and again and spoke. 31It seems these bad men, swollen with every kind of drunkenness, do not want peace. For them what quiets them is the rod, as the stick is for cattle. 32See now: I calmed the Yadus, who were in a fury, and Krsna, who was angry, slowly and by degrees, and I came here wanting peace for these people. 33And these dull-witted men, who love a quarrel, wicked, full of themselves, have made nothing of me and spoken foul words again and again. 34Ugrasena, ruler of the Bhojas and Vrsnis and Andhakas, is not the lord, then, he whose order Sakra and the other guardians of the world carry out?
