Therefore, ascending on your chariot, furnished with every implement of war and making the chief Brahmanas utter benedictions on you, march at once, even this very day, against Hastinapur, so that you may be able to give to the Brahmanas the spoils of your victory. Surrounded by your brothers, who are all great wielders of bows and by (other) heroes, who are all skilled in weapons and all like virulent snakes, start (at once) like the slayer of Vritra (Indra) surrounded by the Marutas. Destroy with your prowess your weak enemies as the slayer of Vritra (Indra) destroyed the Asuras. O son of Kunti, snatch away from the son of Dhritarashtra (Duryodhana) the prosperity he (now) enjoys.
