Vāraṇāvatāgamana: Public Farewell, Vidura’s Coded Counsel, and Departure
तस्मिन् कर्मणि संसिद्धे पर्यष्वजत पाण्डवम् । मेने च द्रुपदं संख्ये सानुबन्धं पराजितम्,इस कार्यमें सफलता प्राप्त होनेपर आचार्यने अर्जुनको हृदयसे लगा लिया और उन्हें यह विश्वास हो गया कि राजा ट्रुपद युद्धमें अर्जुनद्वारा अपने भाई-बन्धुओंसहित अवश्य पराजित हो जायँगे
tasmin karmaṇi saṁsiddhe paryaṣvajata pāṇḍavam | mene ca drupadaṁ saṅkhye sānubandhaṁ parājitam ||
ครั้นเมื่อกิจนั้นสำเร็จลุล่วงแล้ว อาจารย์ได้โอบกอดปาณฑพ (อรชุน) ด้วยความชื่นชมจากใจ และท่านก็แน่ใจว่าในสมรภูมิ พระเจ้าทรุปทะจักต้องพ่ายแพ้แก่อรชุน พร้อมด้วยหมู่ญาติและพันธมิตรทั้งปวง
