Krishna said O best of kings, you deserve the imperial dignity. Let therefore the great (Rajasuya) sacrifice be performed. If you perform that sacrifice, and if you obtain its fruit, we shall all consider ourselves as crowned with success. I am always engaged in seeking your good. Perform the sacrifice you desire. Appoint me in some office in that sacrifice. I shall obey all your commands.
त्वमेव राजशार्दूल सम्राडो महाक्रतुम्। सम्प्राप्नुहि त्वया प्राप्ते कृतकृत्यास्ततो वयम्॥ यजस्वाभीप्सितं यज्ञं मयि श्रेयस्यवस्थिते। नियुक्ष्व त्वं च मां कृत्ये सर्वं कर्तास्मि ते वचः॥
