O foremost among the Bharatas, make peace along with your brothers with the sons of Pandu. Save this entire earth which has come under the very jaws of death. Your elder brother is of virtuous habits of life, affectionate, sweet of speech and wise.
प्रशाम्य भरतश्रेष्ठ भ्रातृभिः सह पाण्डवैः। रक्षेमां पृथिवीं सर्वां मृत्योर्दष्ट्रान्तरं गताम्॥ ज्येष्ठो भ्राता धर्मशीलो वत्सलः श्लक्ष्णवाक् कविः।
