Shloka 3
कि तु सम्बन्धकं तुल्यमस्माकं कुरुपाण्डुषु । यथेष्टं वर्तमानेषु पाण्डवेषु च तेषु च,परंतु हमलोगोंका कौरवों और पाण्डवोंसे एक-सा सम्बन्ध है। पाण्डव और कौरव दोनों ही हमारे साथ यथायोग्य अनुकूल बर्ताव करते हैं
kiṃ tu sambandhakaṃ tulyam asmākaṃ kurupāṇḍuṣu | yatheṣṭaṃ vartamāneṣu pāṇḍaveṣu ca teṣu ca ||
But our bond is the same with both the Kurus and the Pāṇḍavas. Whether it is the Pāṇḍavas or those others (the Kauravas), they conduct themselves toward us in a fitting and agreeable manner as they choose.
