Restrain your sons, O lord of the universe, who are too much attached to avarice. The sons of Pritha live to serve you and to fight for you, O chastiser of foes; whatever course, O king, appears better, follow, O chastiser of foes.”
लोभेऽतिप्रसृतान् पुत्रान् निगृह्णीष्व विशाम्पते। स्थिताः शुश्रूषितुं पार्थाः स्थिता योद्धुमरिंदमा:। यत् ते पथ्यतमं राजेस्तस्मिस्तिष्ठ परंतप॥
