The diadem-decked Arjuna of blazing effulgence having said this and worshipped Yudhishthira by his feet, rose to proceed to the battle. After having heard these harsh words of Phalguna (Arjuna). Yudhishthira, the foremost of the righteous, with a heavy heart rose from the bed (on which he had been reclining) and said unto him.
इति प्रयास्यन्नुपदृह्य पादौ समुत्थितौ दीप्ततेजाः किरीटी। एतच्छ्रुत्वा पाण्डवो धर्मराजो भ्रातुर्वाक्यं परुषं फाल्गुनस्य॥ उत्थाय तस्माच्छयनादुवाच पार्थं ततो दुःखपरीतचेताः।
