O mighty-armed Dhananjaya, Hear all that I have done. In the great battle of the BharataPrinces, you had killed the royal son of Shantanu by unfair ways. What I have done has expiated your sin. You did not overthrow Bhishma while fighting with you!
यत्तच्छृणु महाबाहो निखिलेन धनंजय। महाभारतयुद्धे यत् त्वया शान्तनवो नृपः॥ अधर्मेण हतः पार्थ तस्यैषा निष्कृतिः कृता। न हि भीष्मस्त्वया वीर युद्ध्यमानो हि पातितः॥
