O descendant of Shantanu, O descendant of Pratipa, listen in this assembly of the Kurus, to the words of wisdom. By following a wretch, do not enter into the terrible fire that has blazed forth.
प्रातीपेयाः शान्तनवाः शृणुध्वं काव्यां वाचं संसदि कौरवाणाम्। वैश्वानरं प्रज्वलितं सुघोरं मा यास्यध्वं मन्दमनुप्रपन्नाः॥
