Ulūpī’s Disclosure and the Saṃjīvana-Maṇi: Arjuna’s Restoration (उलूपी-प्रकटनं संजीवनमणि-स्थापनं च)
इत्युक्त: स तु पुत्रेण तदा वानरकेतन: । स्मयन् प्रोवाच कौन्तेयस्तदा चित्राड्रदासुतम्,पुत्रके ऐसा कहनेपर कुन्तीनन्दन कपिध्वज अर्जुनने मुसकराते हुए चित्राड्रदाकुमारसे कहा--
ity uktaḥ sa tu putreṇa tadā vānaraketanaḥ | smayan provāca kaunteyas tadā citrādradāsutam ||
Setelah putranya berkata demikian, Arjuna putra Kuntī—yang panjinya bergambar kera—tersenyum, lalu berbicara kepada putra Citrādradā.
अर्जुन उवाच
