O foremost of men, the bards and the twiceborn persons uttered these words to him-"Do you subdue the sons of Pritha, with Govinda and with their principal attendants in that formidable battle. O son of Radha, do you slay the sons of Pritha, along with the Panchalas, that we may win victory, even as risen Sun always destroys the thick gloom by his terrible rays.
जय पार्थान सगोविन्दान् सानुगांस्तान् महामृधे। इति तं वन्दिनः प्राहुर्द्विजाश्च पुरुषर्षभम्॥ जहि पार्थान् सपाञ्चालान् राधेय विजयाय नः। उद्यन्निव सदा भानुस्तमांस्युप्रैर्गभस्तिभिः॥
