धर्मात्मा स तदादृश्यः सो ऽपि तात द्विजातिभिः ॥
किं पुनः प्राकृतैः पार्थः शक्यो विज्ञातुम् अन्ततः ॥
यस्मिन् सत्यं धृतिर् दानं परा शान्तिर् ध्रुवा क्षमा ॥
ह्रीः श्रीः कीर्तिः परं तेज आनृशंस्यम् अथार्जवम् ॥
तस्मात् तत्र निवासं तु छन्नं सत्रेण धीमतः ॥
गतिं वा परमां तस्य नोत्सहे वक्तुम् अन्यथा ॥
एवम् एतत् तु संचिन्त्य यत्कृतं मन्यसे हितम् ॥
तत् क्षिप्रं कुरु कौरव्य यद्य् एवं श्रद्दधासि मे ॥
dharmātmā sa tadādṛśyaḥ so 'pi tāta dvijātibhiḥ ||
kiṃ punaḥ prākṛtaiḥ pārthaḥ śakyo vijñātum antataḥ ||
yasmin satyaṃ dhṛtir dānaṃ parā śāntir dhruvā kṣamā ||
hrīḥ śrīḥ kīrtiḥ paraṃ teja ānṛśaṃsyam athārjavam ||
tasmāt tatra nivāsaṃ tu channaṃ satreṇa dhīmataḥ ||
gatiṃ vā paramāṃ tasya notsahe vaktum anyathā ||
evam etat tu saṃcintya yatkṛtaṃ manyase hitam ||
tat kṣipraṃ kuru kauravya yady evaṃ śraddadhāsi me ||
'Such a soul, righteous as he is, is hard even for the twice-born to perceive, dear one; how then could ordinary people come to know Partha to the end? In him abide truth, firmness, generosity, supreme peace, unwavering forbearance, modesty, glory, fame, supreme radiance, compassion, and straightforwardness. Therefore, of the wise one's hidden, veiled abode, or of his ultimate course, I am unable to speak otherwise. Having considered this, O Kaurava, quickly do what you judge to be beneficial, if you have such faith in me.'
