Balarama and Krishna visit the Pandavas in exile, observing the vast contrast between their hardships and Duryodhana's luxury. Balarama questions divine justice, troubled by the evident disparity. Satyaki suggests attacking Duryodhana, but Vasudeva advises patience, respecting the Pandavas' principles. Yudhishthira prioritizes truth over power, refusing to compromise righteousness. Bhima urges immediate action, fearing without Arjuna's return, their enemies may triumph. Sage Brihadaswa consoles them, citing the tale of King Nala to remind them that fortunes change and trials are transient.
