That foremost of men, Phalguna, had been thus addressed by king Yudhishthira the just, of great soul. He, therefore, began to reflect thus. Thus was I commissioned by my by my brother. Warriors advancing against me should not be killed.
न हन्तव्या रणे तात क्षत्रिया विजिगीषवः॥ जेतव्याश्चेति यत् प्रोक्तं धर्मराज्ञा महात्मना। चिन्तयामास स तदा फाल्गुनः पुरुषर्षभः॥ इत्युक्तोऽहं नरेन्द्रेण न हन्तव्या नृपा इति। कथं तन्न मृषेदं स्याद् धर्मराजवचः शुभम्॥
