प्रसाद्य धर्मार्थविदश् च वाच्या; यथार्थसिद्धिः परमा भवेन् नः ॥

Translation

Arjuna said to them: 'Having lived out the appointed term in the forest, the king will strip away the glory of his enemies. As for you, visit the finest brahmins and ascetics, propitiate those who know dharma and worldly gain, and pray that our purpose be fulfilled.' The people approved these words, circled Yudhishthira keeping him on their right, and, having taken leave of the Pandavas and Draupadi, sorrowfully dispersed to their own places with the king's permission.
