स व्वं भ्रातुर्वयस्यस्य गुरोरपि च संयुगे । कुरु कृच्छे सहायार्थमर्जुनस्य नरर्षभ,नरश्रेष्ठ! अर्जुन तुम्हारा भाई, मित्र और गुरु है। वह युद्धके मैदानमें संकटमें पड़ा हुआ है। अतः तुम उसकी सहायताके लिये प्रयत्न करो
sa tvaṃ bhrātur vayasyasya guror api ca saṃyuge | kuru kṛcchre sahāyārtham arjunasya nararṣabha ||
قال يودهيشثيرا: «أنت أخوه ورفيقه، وبوجهٍ ما أنت أيضًا كالكبير الموقَّر؛ وها هو الآن، في خضمّ المعركة، قد وقع في كربٍ شديد. فلهذا، يا ثور الرجال، اجتهد في نصرة أرجونا في هذه الشدّة».
