शल्यस्य सेनापत्याभ्युपगमः | Śalya’s Acceptance of Command
कृष्णाया: प्रेष्यवद् भूत्वा शुश्रूषां कुरुते सदा । इति सर्व समुन्नद्धं न निरवाति कथठ्चन
kṛṣṇāyāḥ preṣyavad bhūtvā śuśrūṣāṃ kurute sadā | iti sarva-samunnaddhaṃ na niravāti kathaṃcana ||
ສັນຊະຍະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ເມື່ອເຂົາເຮັດຕົນເປັນດັ່ງຄົນຮັບໃຊ້ຂອງ ກຣິສນາ (ດຣາອຸປະດີ) ແລ້ວ ເຂົາກໍບໍລິການນາງດ້ວຍຄວາມເອົາໃຈໃສ່ຢູ່ເສມອ. ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ແມ່ນແຕ່ທຸກສິ່ງຖືກຈັດການພ້ອມ ແລະເຄື່ອນໄຫວໄປແລ້ວ ເຂົາກໍບໍ່ເຄີຍຜ່ອນຄາຍ ຫຼືຫັນໜີໃນເວລາໃດເລີຍ».
