Kuntī’s Message to Kṛṣṇa
अतृप्यन्नमृतस्येव कृच्छाल्लब्धस्य बान्धवात् | उद्यच्छाम्येष शत्रूणां नियमाय जयाय च
atṛpyann amṛtasyeva kṛcchrāl labdhasya bāndhavāt | udyacchāmy eṣa śatrūṇāṃ niyamāya jayāya ca ||
तेरे ये अमृत के समान वचन बड़ी कठिनाई से सुनने को मिले थे। उन्हें सुनकर मैं तृप्त नहीं होता था। देखो—अब मैं बन्धु-बान्धवों के साथ शत्रुओं का दमन करने और विजय प्राप्त करने के लिये उद्योग कर रहा हूँ।

The verse highlights how rare, hard-won wise counsel can be as precious as nectar, and how such counsel should culminate in disciplined action—restraining wrongdoing and pursuing rightful victory rather than impulsive violence.
A son speaks of having heard exceptionally valuable words from a relative after much difficulty; far from being satisfied, he is stirred to decisive effort, declaring that he will now act with his kinsmen to bring enemies under control and achieve victory.
