Sanskrit Original
न हि तस्याप्रियं कुर्यां प्राणत्यागेऽप्युपस्थिते। कुतो गन्तुं महाबाहो पुरी द्वारावतीं प्रति॥ सर्वं त्विदमहं पार्थ त्वत्प्रीतिहितकाम्पया। ब्रवीमि सत्यं कौरव्य न मिथ्यैतत् कथंचन॥ प्रयोजनं च निर्वृत्तमिह वासे ममार्जुन। धार्तराष्ट्रो हतो राजा सबल: सपदानुगः॥ पृथिवी च वशे तात धर्मपुत्रस्य धीमतः। स्थिता समुद्रवलया सशैलवनकानना॥ चिता रत्नैर्बहुविधैः कुरुराजस्य पाण्डव। धर्मेण राजा धर्मज्ञः पातु सर्वां वसुन्धराम्॥ उपास्यमानो बहुभिः सिद्धैश्चापि महात्मभिः। स्तूयमानश्च सततं वन्दिभिर्भरतर्षभ॥
For, O you of mighty arms, even if death comes to ine, I am reluctant to do anything that may displease him, what to speak of my going to the city of Dvaravati, O son of Pritha, and descendant of Kuru, I now tell you truly desiring to do only what is good and agreeable to you, and there can be nothing equivocal in it many way, that the necessity for my staying here no longer exists, when, O Arjuna, that monarch the son of Dhritarashtra, has been killed with his armies and attendants, and the earth, my friend, with its belt of seas, and its mountains and woods and forest, and the kingdom of the Kuru king filled with various gems, have passed under the control of that wise son of Dharma. And, O foremost prince of Bharata's race, may that virtuous prince govern the entire kingdom of the earth in virtue, and with the respect and approbation of numerous grcat Siddhas, and having his praises always extolled by the panegyrists.
