Drona said: O king, I again solicit your friendship. He who is not a king should not be a friend of a king. Therefore, O Yajnasena, I shall divide this kingdom amongst ourselves. You will be the king of the country lying on the south banks of the Bhagirathi and I shall be that on the north banks.
द्रोण उवाच प्रार्थयामि त्वया सख्यं पुनरेव नराधिप। अराजा किल नो राज्ञः सखा भवितुमर्हति॥ अतः प्रयतितं राज्ये यज्ञसेन त्वया सह। राजासि दक्षिणे कूले भागीरथ्याहमुत्तरे॥
