Then, with a little pride, Lord Keshava embracing king Yudhishthira, said to him, 'By good luck, you have gained the victory, O son of Kunti! By good luck, your enemies have been defcated! By good luck, the holder of Gandiva and Bhimasena the son of Pandu, and yourself, O king, and the two sons of Madri have escaped alive from this battle so destructive of heroes, after having killed all your foes! Speedily do, O Bharata, what should now be done!
ईपदुत्स्मयमास्तु भगवान् केशवोऽरिहा। परिष्वज्य च राजानं युधिष्ठिरमभाषत॥ दिष्ट्या जयसि कौन्तेय दिष्ट्याते शत्रवो जिताः। दिष्टया गाण्डीवधन्वा च भीमसेनश्च पाण्डवः॥ त्वं चापि कुशली राजन् माद्रीपुत्रो च पाण्डवौ। मुक्ता वीरक्षयादस्मात् संग्रामानिहतद्विषः॥ क्षिप्रमुक्तरकालानि कुरु कार्याणि भारत। उपायतमुपप्लव्यं सह गाण्डीवधन्वना॥
