Yudhishthira always seeks the welfare of all creatures. Vrikodara and the twins (Nakul and Sahadeva) are always under Yudhishthira's order; and if you make peace it would appear that you make it only for the welfare of all parties. All the kings then will return to their respective homes and the troops will no longer fight with each other; if you do not hear my advice you will have to repent hereafter when you will be crushed by your enemies.
युधिष्ठरो भूतहिते रतः सदा वृकोदरपस्तद्वशगस्तथा यमौ। त्वया तु पाथैश्च कृते च संविदे प्रजाः शिवं प्राप्नुयुरिच्छया तव॥ व्रजन्तु शेषाः स्वपुराणि बान्धवा निवृत्तयुद्धाश्च भवन्तु सैनिकाः। न चेद् वचः श्रोष्यसि मे नराधिप ध्रुवं प्रतप्तासि हतोऽरिभियुधि॥
