O Jarasandha, O excellent man, listen to what I think. To desist from this act seems to be beneficial to me. My heart is full of misery to-day. The Rajasuya sacrifice seems to me very difficult to be accomplished.
यथाहं विमृशाम्येकस्तत् तावच्छूयतां मम। संन्यासं रोचये साधु कार्यस्यास्य जनार्दन। प्रतिहन्ति मनो मेऽद्य राजसूयो दुराहरः॥
