Oyou, who know what virtue is, it was by virtue alone, that the king has been able to regain his kingdom shorn of all enemies, and it was by the action of virtue, that king Suyodhana has been slain in battle, and, O son of Pritha and pillar of the Kuru race, the wicked sons sons of Dhritarashtra, avaricious, always rude in speech, and bent upon a sinful course of conduct, having been rooted out with their followers, the king, the son of Dharma and lord of the earth, now peaceably enjoys the cntire kingdom of the earth with your help, and I too, O son of Pandu, have been pleasantly passing away my time in your company, amidst woodland scenes.
धर्मेण राज्ञा धर्मज्ञ प्राप्तं राज्यमकण्टकम्। धर्मेण निहत: संख्ये स च राजा सुयोधनः॥ अधर्मरुचयो लुब्धाः सदा चाप्रियवादिनः। धार्तराष्ट्रा दुरात्मानः सानुबन्धा निपातिताः :॥ प्रशान्तामखिलां पार्थ प्रथिवीं पृथिवीपतिः। भुङ्क्ते धर्मसुतो राजा त्वया गुप्तः कुरुद्वह॥ रमे चाहं त्वया सार्धमरण्येष्वपि पाण्डव।
