कौरवान् समरे राजन् प्रतियुध्यस्व भारत | पज्चमे दिवसे तात पृथिवी ते भविष्यति
kauravān samare rājan pratiyudhyasva bhārata | pañcame divase tāta pṛthivī te bhaviṣyati ||
ವ್ಯಾಸನು ನುಡಿದನು—ಓ ರಾಜನೇ, ಓ ಭಾರತನೇ! ಸಮರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೌರವರ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಸ್ಥಿರವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರತಿಯುದ್ಧ ಮಾಡು. ತಾತ, ಐದನೇ ದಿನ ಈ ಭೂಮಿ—ನಿನ್ನ ರಾಜ್ಯವೂ ನಿನ್ನ ಸಾರ್ವಭೌಮತ್ವವೂ—ನಿನಗೇ ದೊರೆಯುವುದು॥
व्यास उवाच
