By your son, O great king or by the kings who are his followers. The king of the Matsyas does not pay you homage now; nor does the Panchala with the Kaikeyas; nor do the Shalvas and the Shurasenas. All disregard you. All of them have gone over to the side of Partha, well knowing the heroism of that wise one.
तव पुत्रा महाराज राजानश्चानुसारिणः। मत्स्यास्त्वामद्य नार्चन्ति पञ्चालाश्च सकेकयाः॥ शाल्वेयाः शूरसेनाश्च सर्वे त्वामवजानते। पार्थं ह्येते गताः सर्वे वीर्यज्ञास्तस्य धीमतः।।१८।
