## Chapter 45: The Jealousy of the Kauravas
**49.** Driven by envy of Arjuna's prowess and wisdom, Duryodhana and the other Kauravas sought to find fault with the treaty.
**50.** They argued, "The five Pandavas enjoy half the Kaurava kingdom, while we, the hundred brothers, enjoy the other half. What greater injustice could there be?"
**51.** The Pandavas heard this. Yudhishthira, being a man of peace, paid no heed. But the other four, though calm and composed, were stirred like the four oceans by a fierce wind.
**52.** Arjuna, like a cloud, rose and said, "I will drench this enemy mountain with a torrent of arrows." But Yudhishthira, like the wind, calmed him.
**53.** Bhima, like a serpent, rose and said, "I will consume the hundred claimants with my fiery breath." But Yudhishthira, with a mantra, calmed him.
**54.** Nakula, like a mongoose, prepared to destroy the enemy's wicked clan. But Yudhishthira, like a cage, restrained him.
**55.** Sahadeva, like a fire, blazed and said, "I will burn this enemy forest to ashes." But Yudhishthira, like a cloud, calmed him.
**56.** The Pandavas, with peaceful minds, lived on. After some days, while they slept soundly, the Kauravas set fire to their home.
**57.** Awakened suddenly, the five Pandavas, along with their mother, escaped through a tunnel and fled safely.
**58.** This incident ignited the people's hatred for Duryodhana. Indeed, who would not despise a man who delights in evil?
**Note:** The text uses several Jain terms to describe the Pandavas' actions and personalities. These terms are preserved in the translation.
