That they did not follow you when you marched to battle at the head of your troops. They have long before come under your power by becoming your slaves. Endued as they are with courage and prowess and incapable as they are to turn back from the field of battle they are bound to help you. You are now enjoying all the rich possessions of the Pandavas; O king, see, the Pandavas are yet active. They have not resolved to die by fasting. Rise, () king, be blessed; you should not grieve.
स्वसेनया सम्प्रयान्तं नानुयान्ति स्म पृष्ठतः। शूराश्च बलवन्तश्च संयुगेष्वपलायिनः॥ भवतस्ते सहाया वै प्रेष्यतां पूर्वमागताः। पाण्डवेयानि रत्नानि त्वमद्याप्युपभुञ्जसे॥ सत्त्वस्थान् पाण्डवान् पश्य न ते प्रायमुपाविशन् उत्तिष्ठ राजन् भद्रं ते न चिरं कर्तुमर्हसि॥
