Scene 1 Vidura and Bhishma are ready to go to the assembly convened by Vidura to read publicly the message sent by King Drupada. Just then a messenger comes with the news of the arrival of Duryodhana and others. Vidura and Bhishma hurry to the assembly, worrying what they had wanted to avoid has come to pass. Scene 2 Duryodhana, Dushshasana and Shakuni arrive at the Hastinapur palace after Somadatta advises them not to go for war with Panchala. However, as they near the gate, once again Duryodhana is reluctant to enter the palace fearing criticism for having lost at the Draupadi Swayamwara . Shakuni explains that success and failure are part of a kshatriya's life and should be taken as teaching them a lesson, but the Kaurava brothers are not convinced. Then Shakuni tells them that people would talk of their failures as that constitutes an important event but if they could divert the court's attention with other matters, they could easily avert their attention from Kaurava
