"I would give up ties formed through cruelty even after countless years, for when the time comes, even life itself must be given up. And to the two sons of Madri, ever devoted to the dharma of the kshatriya, say: choose, even over life itself, the joys won by valor. For it is the achievements gained by valor, through the dharma of the kshatriya, that always gladden the heart of one who lives by it, O best of men. Go, O mighty-armed one, and tell Arjuna, the hero, the best of all who bear weapons, the son of Pandu -- follow the path taken for Draupadi's sake. For Bhima and Arjuna are known to you as utterly fierce, like two gods of death; they would lead even the gods to their final end."
