But when, O foremost of men, all the three mighty car-warriors have transgressed you, tell us what you have to say on the business at hand. Let by gones be by-gones. O giver of honour, now think what is to be done at present. Speak quickly what should next be done for the ruler of the Sindhus on the present crisis and let that also be quickly carried out into action.
नाश एव तु मे नूनं मन्दभाग्यस्य संयुगे। यत्र त्वां पुरुषव्याघ्रं व्यतिक्रान्तास्रयो रथाः॥ एवं गते तुकृत्येऽस्मिन् ब्रूहि यत् ते विवक्षितम्। यद् गतं गतमेवेदं शेषं चिन्तय मानद॥ यत् कृत्यं सिन्धुराजस्य प्राप्तकालमनन्तरम्। तत् संविधीयतां क्षिप्रं साधु संचिन्त्य नो द्विज॥
