इदं शरणम् आग्नेयं मदर्थम् इति मे मतिः ॥
पुरोचनेन विहितं धार्तराष्ट्रस्य शासनात् ॥
स पापः कोशवांश् चैव ससहायश् च दुर्मतिः ॥
अस्मान् अपि च दुष्टात्मा नित्यकालं प्रबाधते ॥
स भवान् मोक्षयत्व् अस्मान् यत्नेनास्माद् धुताशनात् ॥
अस्मास्व् इह हि दग्धेषु सकामः स्यात् सुयोधनः ॥
idaṃ śaraṇam āgneyaṃ madartham iti me matiḥ ||

sa pāpaḥ kośavāṃś caiva sasahāyaś ca durmatiḥ ||
asmān api ca duṣṭātmā nityakālaṃ prabādhate ||
sa bhavān mokṣayatv asmān yatnenāsmād dhutāśanāt ||

"This flammable shelter -- for my sake, such is my understanding -- was arranged by Purochana at the command of Dhritarashtra's son. That wicked one, both wealthy and with allies, evil-minded, corrupt in soul, forever oppresses us as well. So may you deliver us with effort from this fire; for, were we to burn here, Suyodhana would be pleased."

Here Yudhishthira names the danger plainly and asks for help. It is telling that he gives way neither to despair nor to helpless anger, but soberly sets out the situation and seeks active deliverance. Here is the courage of reason: the righteous in distress does not lament but acts, resorting to the help sent to him. Telling too is that he entrusts his rescue to a simple digger: in the hour of need even one of low station becomes a savior, and a person's worth lies in faithfulness, not in rank. Thus the scripture shows that the righteous accept help from wherever it comes, and through a humble servant providence prepares the deliverance of royal brothers.
