एतेन सहितो युद्धय पज्चालैश्व महारथै: । आश्रचासनार्थ सैन्यानां सर्वेषां पाण्डुनन्दन,'पाण्डुनन्दन! इनके और पांचाल महारथियोंके साथ रहकर तुम अपनी सारी सेनाओंको सान्त्वना देनेके लिये यहाँ युद्ध करो”
etena sahito yuddhāya pāñcālaiś ca mahārathaiḥ | āśvāsanārthaṃ sainyānāṃ sarveṣāṃ pāṇḍunandana ||
ପାଣ୍ଡୁନନ୍ଦନ! ଏହାଙ୍କ ସହ ଓ ପାଞ୍ଚାଳ ମହାରଥୀମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଏକତ୍ର ରହି ଏଠାରେ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ କର; ଯେପରି ତୋର ସମସ୍ତ ସେନା ଆଶ୍ୱସ୍ତ ହୋଇ ହୃଦୟରେ ଧୈର୍ୟ ଧରିପାରିବେ।
