"O mother, let not king Bhima, by any means, know my object. I like to employ that foremost of the Brahmanas, Sudeva, in your presence. Should you desire my welfare, do you act in such a manner that king Bhima will not come to know this purpose of mine.
अयमर्थो न संवेद्यो भीमे मातः कदाचन। त्वत्संनिधौ नियोक्ष्येऽहं सुदेवं द्विजसत्तमम्॥ यथा न नृपतिर्भीमः प्रतिपद्येत मे मतम्। तथा त्वया प्रकर्तव्यं मम चेत् प्रियमिच्छसि॥
