कृपोपदेशः — द्रौणेरनिद्रा च
Kṛpa’s Counsel and Drauṇi’s Sleepless Resolve
'सत्पुरुषोंमें श्रेष्ठ मामाजी! पाण्डव और पांचाल जब श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुनसे सुरक्षित हों, उस दशामें मैं उन्हें देवराज इन्द्रके लिये भी अत्यन्त असहा एवं अजेय मानता हूँ ।।
O best of men! When the Pāṇḍavas and the Pañcālas are protected by Śrī Kṛṣṇa (Vāsudeva) and Arjuna, I deem them unbearable to face and unconquerable—even for Indra, king of the gods. Nor am I able to restrain this anger that has arisen; in this world I see no man who could turn me away from wrath.
