If Drona's son is not compelled to reap the fruit of his sinful deed, if, displaying your prowess in battle, you do not kill that sinful wretch, along with his followers,—then, listen to me, ye Pandavas, I shall sit here in Praya.'
तस्य पापकृतो द्रौणेर्न चेदद्य त्वया रणे। ह्रियते सानुबन्धस्य युधि विक्रम्य जीवितम्॥ इहैव प्रायमासिष्ये तन्निबोधत पाण्डवाः। न चेत् फलमवाप्नोति द्रौणिः पापस्य कर्मणः॥
