"Then Krishna said to Dharmaraja: 'The warriors of the Dasharhas, the Kukuras, and the Andhakas obey your command, O king, and stand wherever you wish. Let the army of Madhu, whose bows are swift as the wind, led by Balarama, with infantry, horses, chariots, and elephants, be ready for your undertakings, lord of men. Let Suyodhana, the worst of evildoers, together with his kin and friends, go the way of Saubha and the lord of Saubha. Or else, king, remain as your term has been fixed in the assembly; then the warriors of the Dasharhas, with their cavalry, will await you at Hastinapura. Free from anger, cleansed of sin, having dwelt wherever you please, you will then, without grief, enter the prosperous Hastinapura together with your kingdom.' Having learned this counsel of the great-souled one, spoken as was fitting by Purushottama, Dharmaraja approved it, reflected upon it, and with joined palms said to Keshava: 'Without doubt, Keshava, you are the refuge of the Pandavas; the Parthas stand under your protection. When the time comes, and again thereafter, you will surely do what must be done. We shall pass the time according to our vow -- all twelve years in the wilderness. Having duly completed our life in hiding, the Pandavas will come to you, Keshava.'"
