युधिष्ठिरस्य कृष्णार्जुनादि-समाश्वासनम्
Yudhiṣṭhira’s reassurance and praise of Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna, Bhīma, and Sātyaki
“वीर! तुम्हें तो अपने बाहुबलका आश्रय लेकर इस भागती हुई भयभीत सेनाकी रक्षा करनी चाहिये
vīra! tvāṁ tu svabāhubalāśrayaṁ kṛtvā imāṁ palāyamānāṁ bhayabhītāṁ senāṁ rakṣituṁ yuktam.
Sañjaya berkata: “Wahai pahlawan, bersandarlah pada kekuatan lenganmu sendiri dan lindungilah bala tentara ini yang lari tercerai-berai, dikuasai ketakutan.”
