O best of men, this is what is good and advisable for us to-day, namely, O king, to attack and smite them till the Pandavas are exterminated. O sire, consent to this. As long as our party is strong and that of the Panchalas weak, so long let us strike them without scruple.
इदं त्वद्य क्षमं कर्तुमस्माकं पुरुषर्षभ। यावन्न कृतमूलास्ते पाण्डवेया विशाम्पते॥ तावत् प्रहरणीयास्ते तत् तुभ्यं तात रोचताम्। अस्मत्पक्षो महान् यावद् यावत् पाञ्चालको लघुः। तावत् प्रहरणं तेषां क्रियतां मा विचारय॥
