Droṇa-parva 112: Karṇa–Bhīma Engagement and Duryodhana’s Protective Order
तादृशस्येदृशे काले मादृशेनाभिनोदित:ः । अतः तुम मेरे-जैसे मनुष्यसे प्रेरित हो ऐसे संकटके समय अर्जुन-जैसे प्रिय सखाके पथका अनुसरण करो, जैसा कि तुम्हारे-जैसे वीर पुरुष किया करते हैं
tādṛśasyedṛśe kāle mādṛśenābhinoditaḥ | ataḥ tvam mama-jaiṣe manuṣyena preritaḥ san evaṁ saṅkaṭa-kāle arjuna-jaiṣasya priya-sakhyuḥ patham anusara, yathā tvādṛśā vīrāḥ puruṣāḥ kurvanti |
Yudhiṣṭhira said: “In such a situation and at such a critical time, you are being urged on by someone like me. Therefore, even if prompted by a person of my kind, in this hour of danger you should follow the course taken by a dear friend like Arjuna—just as men of your heroic stature are wont to do.”
