Kuntī’s Message to Kṛṣṇa
मैं तेरे प्रभाव, पुरुषार्थ और बुद्धि-बलको जानना चाहती थी, अतः तुझे आश्वासन देते हुए तेरे तेज (उत्साह)-की वृद्धिके लिये मैंने उपर्युक्त बातें कही है ।। यदेतत् संविजानासि यदि सम्यग ब्रवीम्यहम् । कृत्वा सौम्यमिवात्मानं जयायोत्तिष्ठ संजय,संजय! यदि मैं यह सब ठीक कह रही हूँ और यदि तू भी मेरी इन बातोंको ठीक समझ रहा है तो अपने-आपको उमग्र-सा बनाकर विजयके लिये उठ खड़ा हो
yad etat saṁvijānāsi yadi samyag bravīmy aham | kṛtvā saumyām ivātmānaṁ jayāyottiṣṭha sañjaya ||
ସଞ୍ଜୟ! ଯଦି ତୁମେ ମୋ କଥାକୁ ସତ୍ୟସତ୍ୟ ବୁଝୁଛ ଏବଂ ଯଦି ମୁଁ ଠିକ୍ କହୁଛି, ତେବେ ନିଜ ମନକୁ ସୌମ୍ୟ ଓ ସ୍ଥିର କରି ବିଜୟ ପାଇଁ ଉଠି ଦଢ଼ ହେଅ। ତୁମକୁ ଆଶ୍ୱସ୍ତ କରିବା ଓ ତୁମ ଉତ୍ସାହ ବଢ଼ାଇବା ପାଇଁ ମୁଁ ଏହି କଥା କହିଛି।

Clear understanding should lead to disciplined action: once counsel is understood and accepted as true, one should steady the mind (saumya-bhāva) and rise to one’s duty with confidence, aiming at rightful success.
A speaker (identified as “the son”) addresses Sañjaya, explaining that earlier words were meant to reassure him and increase his resolve; now, if Sañjaya understands and agrees, he is urged to compose himself and stand up for victory.
