With hands clasped, do I throw myself under your protection so that it may go well with the Kurus and the Srinjayas. Why should not the son of Vasudeva and Dhananjaya act in the manner indicated by me?
कृताञ्जलिः शरणं वः प्रपद्ये कथं स्वस्ति स्यात् कुरुसंजयानाम्। न ह्येवमेवं वचनं वासुदेवो धनंजयो वा जातु किंचिन्न कुर्यात्॥
