Shakuni said O king, one who is intoxicated falls into a pit and remains there, being deprived of his power of motion. O best of the Bharata race, you are senior to us in age and in everything, I bow to you.
शकुनिरुवाच गर्ने मत्तः प्रपतते प्रमत्तः स्थाणुमृच्छति। ज्येष्ठो राजन् वरिष्ठोऽसि नमस्ते भरतर्षभ॥
