Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Shanti Parva Chapter 339 · Verse 85
Sanskrit Original
युधिष्ठिरं स्थापयिष्ये स्वराज्ये भ्रातृभिः सह॥ एवं लोका वदिष्यन्ति नरनारायणावृषी। उद्युक्तौ दहतः क्षत्रं लोककार्यार्थमीश्वरौ॥ कृत्वा भारावतरणं वसुधाया यथेप्सितम्। सर्वसात्वतमुख्यानां द्वारकायाश्च सत्तम॥ करिष्ये प्रलयं घोरमात्मज्ञातिविनाशनम्।
I shall place Yudhishthira with all his brothers in his ancestral kingdom. People will call me and Arjuna as Narayana and Nara, when, endued with power, we two, putting forth our strength, shall kill a large number of Kshatriyas, for doing good to the world. Having lightened the load of the Earth according to our pleasure, I shall merge all the principal Satvatas, as also Dwaraka, my favourite city, into my own self, recollecting my all-einbracing Knowledge.
