Alas! it is woeful to stay with a king, I shall tell you. O princes, how you shall avert the calamities while residing in the royal premises. O Kauravas, whether respected or not, may you pass thus at the royal residence undiscovered by those who know you. Then in the fourteenth year you will act according to your own pleasure.
हन्तेमां राजवसतिं राजपुत्रा ब्रवीम्यहम्॥ यथा राजकुलं प्राप्य सर्वान् दोषांस्तरिष्यथ। दुर्वसं चैव कौरव्य जानता राजवेश्मनि॥ अमानितैर्मानितैर्वा अज्ञातैः परिवत्सरम्। ततश्चतुर्दशे वर्षे चरिष्यथ यथासुखम्॥
