"War having now been proclaimed, fight with all your might, O son of Pandu, and remember your troubles.” Say also on my behalf to Drupada and Virata: "you are fools for you are not content to have me as your master but on the contrary you have gladly been the slaves of Yudhishthira. This king deserves no praise, probably with this thought do you now come to fight with us.
विराटद्रुपदौ चोभौ ब्रूयास्त्वं वचनान्मम। न दृष्टपूर्वा भर्तारो भृत्यैरपि महागुणैः॥ तथाऽर्थपतिभिर्भूत्या यतः सृष्टाः प्रजास्ततः। अश्लाध्योऽयं नरपतिर्युवयोरिति चागतम्॥
