Drupada’s Instruction to the Purohita for the Kaurava Embassy (द्रुपदोपदेशः दूतप्रेषणम्)
सेनाकर्म करिष्यन्ति द्रव्याणां चैव संचयम् । इसी बीचमें एकाग्रचित्तवाले कुन्तीकुमार अनायास ही सेनाका संगठन और द्रव्यका संग्रह कर लेंगे
senākarma kariṣyanti dravyāṇāṁ caiva saṁcayam |
द्रुपद उवाच—ते सेनाकर्म करिष्यन्ति द्रव्याणां चैव संचयम्। कुन्तीकुमारास्तु एकाग्रचित्ताः, अनायासेनैव, सेनासंगठनं द्रव्यसंचयं च साधयिष्यन्ति—धर्मार्थं कृतयत्नाः, न लोभवशात्।
दुपद उवाच
