By you here a great deed for the gods was accomplished, O bull among men, together with Bhima and with the twins, O mighty-armed one. I consider you to have fulfilled your duty and attained your goal, O bull of the Kurus; and your departure, I deem, is now timely — that is the highest good, in my opinion. Strength, wisdom, brilliance, and resourcefulness are present in times of flourishing and perish in adversity. All this has Time as its root — Time is the seed of the world, O Dhananjaya — and Time takes it back again, as it wills.
