Why should the sons of Pritha do an wicked act like mean people and those born in low families? Therefore having approached you, do I bow to the son of Vasudeva and the aged lord of the people of Panchala.
कथं हि नीचा इव दौष्कुलेया निर्धर्मार्थं कर्म कुर्युश्च पार्थाः। सोऽहं प्रसाद्य प्रणतो वासुदेवं पञ्चालानामधिपं चैव वृद्धम्॥
