You know full well all duties, and you are of righteous soul, O foremost of Bharata's race. You are a wise king, of skilful deeds, You can discriminate what is right in this world from what is wrong. Shaking off this cheerlessness begotten by repentance engage in action vigorously. The heart of a Kshatriya is hard as adamant.
स भवान् सर्वधर्मज्ञो धर्मात्मा भरतर्षभ। राजा मनीषी निपुणो लोके दृष्टपरावरः॥ त्यक्त्वा संतापजं शोकं दंशितो भव कर्मणि। क्षत्रियस्य विशेषेण हृदयं वज्रसंनिभम्॥
