These blazing cars with golden flag-staffs belonging to the son of Dhritarashtra are now all ready (before you). With Indrasena and other charioteers who are all skilled in arms, ride all of you these ever furnished cars with deep rattling noise. Ride on them and fight to your utmost power with the Gandharvas to rescue Duryodhana. Even an ordinary Kshatriya would try his best to protect one who has come to him for protection. What then, O Vrikodara, shall I speak to you?
एते रथा नरव्याघ्राः सर्वशस्त्रसमन्विताः। धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्राणां विमलाः काञ्चनध्वजाः॥ सस्वनानधिरोहध्वं नित्यसज्जानिमान् रथान्। इन्द्रसेनादिभिः सूतैः कृतशस्त्रैरधिष्ठितान्॥ एतानास्थाय वै यत्ता गन्धर्वान् यो माहवे। सुयोधनस्य मोक्षाय प्रयतध्वमतन्द्रिताः॥ य एव कश्चिद् राजन्यः शरणार्थमिहागतम्। परं शक्त्याभिरक्षेत किं पुनस्त्वं वृकोदर॥
