So long as the two Krishna's are not clad in coats of mail, so long as the Gandiva bow is lying still, so long as Dhaumya the priest of the Pandavas does not make offerings to the fire of war, and thereby burns up the strength of their enemy,
यावत् कृष्णावसंनद्धौ यावत् तिष्ठति गाण्डिवम्। यावद् धौम्यो न मेधाग्नौ जुहोतीह द्विषद्बलम्॥
