एकसर्थप्रयातौ स्वस्त्वया सह नरर्षभ । समदुःखसुखौ चापि नावां शड्कितुमरहसि
ekārthaprayātau svastvayā saha nararṣabha | samaduḥkhasukhau cāpi nāvāṁ śaṅkitum arhasi ||
សញ្ជ័យបាននិយាយ៖ «ឱ វីរបុរសដូចគោឧសភា! អ្នក និង ខ្ញុំ បានចេញដំណើររួមគ្នា ដើម្បីគោលបំណងតែមួយ។ យើងបានចែករំលែកទាំងទុក្ខទាំងសុខដូចគ្នា ដូច្នេះ អ្នកមិនគួរសង្ស័យខ្ញុំឡើយ»។

Sañjaya addresses a noble listener (naraṛṣabha), defending his reliability: since they have journeyed together toward the same goal and endured the same joys and sorrows, the listener should not doubt or suspect him.
