As Vishnu (Arjuna) has a claim to the protection of Mahendra, Vrikodara of the wind god, you of Dharma and the powerful twins of the Ashvins, in virtue of being their respective offsprings, so, O Yudhishthira, you all have a claim to my protection.
यथा जिष्णुर्महेन्द्रस्य यथा वायोवृकोदरः। धर्मस्य त्वं यथा तात योगोत्पन्नो निजः सुतः॥ आत्मजावात्मसम्पन्नौ यमौ चोभौ यथाश्विनोः। रक्ष्यास्तद्वन्ममापीह यूयं सर्वे युधिष्ठिर॥
