Shloka 66
भरतवंशी नरेश! तुम अपने समस्त भाइयों तथा महामना भूपालोंके साथ जाकर समरभूमिमें कौरवोंका सामना करो। तात! आजके पाँचवें दिन यह सारी पृथ्वी तुम्हारी हो जायगी ।। नित्यं च पुरुषव्याप्र धर्ममेवानुचिन्तय । आनुृशंस्यं तपो दान क्षमां सत्यं च पाण्डव

Vyāsa said: “O king of Bharata’s line! Go forth with all your brothers and with the high-minded rulers at your side, and meet the Kauravas on the field of battle. Dear child, on this very fifth day the whole earth will become yours. And, O tiger among men, keep your mind always on dharma alone—on compassion, austerity, generosity, forgiveness, and truth, O Pāṇḍava.”
