VIDURA

Vidura said: "Dear brother, your sons have cheated the Pandavas. It is against dharma. The only way to reconciliation is to ask them to return to the Pandavas all that the Pandavas lost in the game. It is your duty to do so as King and an elder."

Dhritarashtra, on hearing it, flared up: "You are always partial to the Pandavas. How can I betray my sons? If you do not like us, you had better go away from here!"

Vidura collected his things and calmly went to the Pandava camp.

On hearing that Vidura had joined the Pandavas, Dhritarashtra sent Sanjaya to call Vidura back.

Vidura had no hate in his mind for any one, much less for his elder brother. So he returned to Dhritarashtra.

One night, prior to the Bharata war, Dhritarashtra was greatly agitated and did not get sleep. He asked Vidura how he could get peace of mind.
