Then the illustrious Vasudeva said. We should, as the first sacred act, remain out of the camp for this night. Saying 'So be it!'—the Pandavas and Satyaki, accompanied by Vasudeva, went put of the camp for doing this auspicious act.
अथाब्रवीन्महाराज वासुदेवो महायशाः। अस्माभिर्मङ्गलार्थाय वस्तव्यं शिबिराद् बहिः॥ तथेत्युक्त्वा हि ते सर्वे पाण्डवाः सात्यकिस्तथा। वासुदेवेन सहिता मङ्गलार्थं बहिर्ययुः॥
