O descendant of Bharata, O chastiser of focs, I shall never bear the words that Bhishma has said as regards this matter by praising the Pandavas and censuring you. O king, join with me with your attendants, troops and chariots.
सोऽहं भीष्मवचस्तद् वै न मृष्यामीह भारत! त्वत्समक्षं यदुक्तं च भीष्मेणामित्रकर्षण॥ पाण्डवानां यशो राजंस्तव निन्दां च भारता अनुजानीहि मां राजन् सभृत्यबलवाहनम्॥
