Today I shall release myself from the debt I woe to the many illustrious Kshatriyas, to Valhika and Drona and Bhishma and the great Karna, to the heroic Jayadratha and Bhagadatta, to Shalya the ruler of the Madras and Bhurishravas, to my sons, O best of Bharata's race and Shakuni the son of Subala, to all my friends and well-wishers and relatives.
बाह्रीकद्रोणभीष्माणां कर्णस्य च महात्मनः। जयद्रथस्य शूरस्य भगदत्तस्य चोभयोः॥ मद्रराजस्य शल्यस्य भूरिश्रवस एव च। पुत्राणां भरतश्रेष्ठ शकुनेः सौबलस्य च॥ मित्राणां सुहृदां चैव बान्धवानां तथैव च।
