Shloka 136
Atithi-satkāra and the Consolation of Wise Counsel (अतिथिसत्कारः प्रज्ञानवचनस्य च पराश्वासनम्)
तपस्तेपतुरव्यग्रौ विसृज्य त्रिदिवौकस: । एष ते कथित: पार्थ नारायणजयो मृथे
tapas tepatūr avyagrau visṛjya tridivaukasaḥ | eṣa te kathitaḥ pārtha nārāyaṇajayo mṛdhe ||
Ipinagpatuloy nila ang kanilang pag-austeridad nang hindi naliligalig ang isip; at matapos pauwiin ang mga nananahan sa langit, nagbalik sila nang payapa sa dating pagsasagawa ng penitensiya. Kaya, O Pārtha, isinalaysay ko sa iyo ang tagumpay ni Nārāyaṇa sa labanan.
