Arjuna readily laid aside his weapons and bow and thursted his sword into the scabbard, having thus appeased Yudhishthira he huge down his head in shame and with joined hands thus addressed him-"O king, I bow unto you, be pleased with me; you will understand in due course the gist of all that I have told you."
संजय उवाच इत्येवमुक्त्वा पुनरेव पार्थो युधिष्ठिरं धर्मभृता वरिष्ठम्। विमुच्य शस्त्राणि धनुर्विसृज्य कोशे च खङ्ग विनिधाय तूर्णम्॥ स वीडया नम्रशिराः किरीटी युधिष्ठिरं प्राञ्जलिरभ्युवाच। प्रसीद राजन् क्षम यन्मयोक्तं काले भवान् वेत्सस्यति तन्नमस्ते॥
