Vaiśampāyana uvāca: paryāptaḥ kṣatradharmo ’yaṃ darśitaḥ putra gamyatām | bahv etat samare karma tava bālasya pārthiva ||
قال فايشامبايانا: «حسبُك—لقد أظهرتَ تمامَ إظهارٍ واجبَ الكشترية، يا بُنيّ. فارجع الآن إلى دارك. أيها الملك، ما زلتَ غلامًا؛ وما أبديتَه من بأسٍ في هذا الميدان أكثرُ من كافٍ لك».
