Sanjaya said: “O King, may peace come upon the people with the end of my life. May the kings meet one another in goodwill and reconciliation. Let a father be united with his son, a nephew with his maternal uncle, and brother with brother—may the warrior order return to concord, O King.”

The verse voices a benediction for social and political reconciliation: even amid a kṣatriya world shaped by conflict, the highest good is the restoration of peace—kings meeting in goodwill and families reuniting across strained bonds.
Sanjaya addresses the king and expresses a wish that, with his own end, peace may arise for the people and that rulers and relatives—father and son, uncle and nephew, brother and brother—may come together again, signaling a longing for harmony after the devastation of war.
