O supporter of the Kuru dignity, act with the Pandavas and others as policy dictates and (act) in such a way that you may not have to reput in futuic. I have not the least doubt that you are endued with every blessing and good fortune, O king, therefore, protect yourself frorn the sons of Pandu.
पाण्डवेषु यथान्यायमन्येषु च कुरूद्वह। वर्तमानो न मज्जेस्त्वं तथा कृत्यं समाचर॥ सर्वकल्याणसम्पन्नो विशिष्ट इति निश्चयः। तस्मात् त्वं पाण्डुपुत्रेभ्यो रक्षात्मानं नराधिप।९।।
