Therefore, ascending on your chariot, furnished with every implement of war and making the chief Brahmanas utter benedictions on you, march at once, even this very day, against Hastinapur, so that you may be able to give to the Brahmanas the spoils of your victory. Surrounded by your brothers, who are all great wielders of bows and by (other) heroes, who are all skilled in weapons and all like virulent snakes, start (at once) like the slayer of Vritra (Indra) surrounded by the Marutas. Destroy with your prowess your weak enemies as the slayer of Vritra (Indra) destroyed the Asuras. O son of Kunti, snatch away from the son of Dhritarashtra (Duryodhana) the prosperity he (now) enjoys.
स भवान् रथमास्थाय सर्वोपकरणान्वितम्। त्वरमाणोऽभिनिर्यातु विप्रेभ्योऽर्थविभावकः॥ वाचयित्वा द्विजश्रेष्ठानद्यैव गजसाह्वयम्। अस्त्रविद्भिः परिवृतो भ्रातृभिर्दृढधन्विभिः॥ आशीविषसमैवीरैर्मरुद्भिरिव वृत्रहा। अमित्रांस्तेजसा मृद्गन्नसुरानिव वृत्रहा। श्रियमादत्स्व कौन्तेयधार्तराष्ट्रान् महावल॥
