Sanskrit Original
नूनं ते भ्रातरः सर्वे त्वत्कथाभिः प्रजागरे॥ रंस्यन्ते वीर कर्माणि कथयन्तः पुनः पुनः। नैव नः पार्थ भोगेषु नधने नोत जीविते॥ तुष्टिबुद्धिर्भवित्री वा त्वयि दीर्घप्रवासिनि। त्वयि नः पार्थ सर्वेषां सुखदुःखे समाहिते।॥ जीवितं मरणं चैव राज्यमैश्चर्यमेव च। आपृष्टो मेऽसि कौन्तेय स्वस्ति प्राप्नुहि भारत॥
Your brothers will while away their waking moments in repeatedly talking over your great deeds. O hero, O Partha, if you stay away (from us) for a long period of time, we shall derive no pleasure from enjoyments or luxury. Life itself would be distasteful to us. O son of Kunti, our weal and woe, our life and death, our kingdom and prosperity all depend on you. O descendant of Bharata, I bless you. Let success be yours. to
