Most tuneful ties of friends,

and friends turn into foes

when a credulous reacts on

the narrative of one party.

You become one-eyed, blinded,

inequitable, unrighteous, and bigoted.

Your brain is impaired.

Your conception listens to the preconceived.

A bear’s staunchness is shattered and

transmuted into a lion’s aggression.

You sound erroneous, destructive

in the irrational inference and judgment.

Had the Kaurabs not acted

gullibly on the version of Sakuni,

the Mahabharat wouldn’t have occurred.
