That will terminate these hostilities. Exercising my reason, O Madhava and reflecting in my own mind, O Vrishni heroe, thinking of Vidura's words and taking into account the acts of the wicked Duryodhana himself, I have arrived at this conclusion. Enter into Kuru division, O hero, for I shall kill the wicked Duryodhana and his army today with my keen arrows.
तदन्तं हि भवेद् वैरमनुमानेन माधव॥ एवं पश्यामि वार्ष्णेय चिन्तयन् प्रज्ञया स्वया। विदुरस्य च वाक्येन चेष्टया च दुरात्मनः॥ तस्माद् याहि चमू वीर यावद्धन्मि शितैः शरैः। दुर्योधनं महाबाहो वाहिनीं चास्य संयुगे॥
