निहत्य सैन्धवं जिष्णुरद्य त्वामुपयास्यति । विशोको विज्वरो राजन् भव भूतिपुरस्कृत:,राजन! आज विजयशील अर्जुन जयद्रथको मारकर ही आपके पास आयेंगे, आप ऐश्वर्यसे सम्पन्न रहकर शोक और चिन्ताको त्याग दीजिये
nihatya saindhavaṁ jiṣṇur adya tvām upayāsyati | viśoko vijvaro rājan bhava bhūtipuraskṛtaḥ ||
ହେ ରାଜନ୍! ଆଜି ଜିଷ୍ଣୁ ଅର୍ଜୁନ ସୈନ୍ଧବ (ଜୟଦ୍ରଥ)କୁ ନିହତ କରି ତବେ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସିବେ। ଶୋକ ଓ ଜ୍ୱରସଦୃଶ ଚିନ୍ତା ତ୍ୟାଗ କରି, ସମୃଦ୍ଧିକୁ ଅଗ୍ରେ ରଖି ସ୍ଥିର ରୁହନ୍ତୁ।
