Drupada said : Having considered all the circumstances, I certainly agree with the foremost of men, the heroic and mighty armed Dasharaha (Krishna). There is no doubt the illustrious sons of Kunti, the Pandavas, are now to me as they are to Vasudeva.
दुपद उवाच यथैव मन्यते वीरो दाशार्हः पुरुषोत्तमः। प्राप्तकालं महाबाहुः सा बुद्धिनिश्चिता मम॥ यथैव हि महाभागाः कौन्तेया मम समाप्रतम्। तथैव वासुदेवस्य पाण्डुपुत्रा न संशयः॥
