I bow down to the great Dharma for it is Dharma that sustains the living creatures. Speak this to Dhananjaya; and Vrikodara who is ever ready for action should also thus be spoken to the object for which a Kshatriya lady brings forth a child is come; best of men do not grieve when they meet with an enemy.
नमो धर्माय महते धर्मो धारयति प्रजाः। एतद् धनंजयो वाच्यो नित्योद्युक्तो वृकोदरः॥ यदर्थं क्षत्रिया सूते तस्य कालोऽयमागतः। न हि वैरं समासाद्य सीदन्ति पुरुषर्षभाः॥
