Drupada’s Instruction to the Purohita for the Kaurava Embassy (द्रुपदोपदेशः दूतप्रेषणम्)
सेनाकर्म करिष्यन्ति द्रव्याणां चैव संचयम् । इसी बीचमें एकाग्रचित्तवाले कुन्तीकुमार अनायास ही सेनाका संगठन और द्रव्यका संग्रह कर लेंगे
senākarma kariṣyanti dravyāṇāṁ caiva saṁcayam |
Drupada berkata: “Mereka akan mengerjakan penataan bala tentara dan juga menghimpun harta. Dan putra-putra Kuntī, dengan tekad yang terpusat dan tanpa kesukaran berlebih, akan menyusun barisan dan mengumpulkan kekayaan yang diperlukan—bukan karena tamak, melainkan sebagai kewajiban dharma.”
