Vyasa ignored the question. There was now a funny smile on his face. He muttered in a low voice as if talking to himself, ‘It will be interesting to see what Devavrata does now. His life is even more pathetic than mine. I feel he will assume the command of the Kaurava army and occupy the battleground for some days, pretending to fight. He will keep the battle in a stalemate allowing neither side to win or lose. Then one day, he will commit suicide or let himself be killed when his lust for life will completely drain out.’
