|
| 1 | kṛtvā vivāhaṃ tu kurupravīrās; tadābhimanyor muditasvapakṣāḥ

rarāja sā rājavatī samṛddhā; grahair iva dyaur vimalair upetā
|
| 8 | tataḥ kathās te samavāyayuktāḥ; kṛtvā vicitrāḥ puruṣapravīrāḥ
tasthur muhūrtaṃ paricintayantaḥ; kṛṣṇaṃ nṛpās te samudīkṣamāṇāḥ
|
| 9 | kathāntam āsādya ca mādhavena; saṃghaṭṭitāḥ pāṇḍavakāryahetoḥ

pāṇḍoḥ sutais tad vratam ugrarūpaṃ; varṣāṇi ṣaṭ sapta ca bhāratāgryaiḥ

dharmārthayuktaṃ ca mahīpatitvaṃ; grāme 'pi kasmiṃś cid ayaṃ bubhūṣet
|

pitryaṃ hi rājyaṃ viditaṃ nṛpāṇāṃ; yathāpakṛṣṭaṃ dhṛtarāṣṭraputraiḥ
mithyopacāreṇa tathāpy anena; kṛcchraṃ mahat prāptam asahyarūpam
|

yuddhena bādheyur imāṃs tathaiva; tair vadhyamānā yudhi tāṃś ca hanyuḥ

ajñāyamāne ca mate parasya; kiṃ syāt samārabhyatamaṃ mataṃ vaḥ
|
| 24 | tasmād ito gacchatu dharmaśīlaḥ; śuciḥ kulīnaḥ puruṣo 'pramattaḥ
dūtaḥ samarthaḥ praśamāya teṣāṃ; rājyārdhadānāya yudhiṣṭhirasya
|
| 25 | niśamya vākyaṃ tu janārdanasya; dharmārthayuktaṃ madhuraṃ samaṃ ca
samādade vākyam athāgrajo 'sya; saṃpūjya vākyaṃ tad atīva rājan
