युधिष्ठिर उवाच
एवम् एतन् महाबाहो यथा वदसि माधव ॥
न तु मे शुध्यते भावः श्वेताश्वं प्रति मारिष ॥
करिष्ये परमं यत्नम् आत्मनो रक्षणं प्रति ॥
गच्छ त्वं समनुज्ञातो यत्र यातो धनंजयः ॥
आत्मसंरक्षणं संख्ये गमनं चार्जुनं प्रति ॥
विचार्यैतद् द्वयं बुद्ध्या गमनं तत्र रोचये ॥
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca
evam etan mahābāho yathā vadasi mādhava ||
na tu me śudhyate bhāvaḥ śvetāśvaṃ prati māriṣa ||
kariṣye paramaṃ yatnam ātmano rakṣaṇaṃ prati ||
gaccha tvaṃ samanujñāto yatra yāto dhanaṃjayaḥ ||
ātmasaṃrakṣaṇaṃ saṃkhye gamanaṃ cārjunaṃ prati ||
vicāryaitad dvayaṃ buddhyā gamanaṃ tatra rocaye ||
So it is, O mighty-armed one, as you say, O Madhava; but my heart is not at ease about the White-Horsed Arjuna, O worthy one. I will make the utmost effort toward my own protection. Go, then, released by me, where Dhananjaya has gone. Having weighed with reason these two — my own defense in battle and the going to Arjuna — I approve the going there.

Yudhishthira acknowledges Satyaki's rightness, yet "na me śudhyate bhāvaḥ" — his heart is troubled over Arjuna, and this anxiety outweighs his concern for his own safety. It is telling that love for a brother wins out in him over caution for his own security. The verse teaches that a loving heart is ready to risk itself for one dear: having weighed two concerns, the righteous man chooses the one that serves the beloved's rescue, placing his brother's life above his own safety.
