कच्चित् पुत्रा जीवपुत्राः सुसम्यग्; वर्तन्ते वो वृत्तिम् अनृशंसरूपाम् ॥
इति स्मोक्त्वा संजय ब्रूहि पश्चाद्; अजातशत्रुः कुशली सपुत्रः ॥
या नो भार्याः संजय वेत्थ तत्र; तासां सर्वासां कुशलं तात पृच्छेः ॥
सुसंगुप्ताः सुरभयो ऽनवद्याः; कच्चिद् गृहान् आवसथाप्रमत्ताः ॥
कच्चिद् वृत्तिं श्वशुरेषु भद्राः; कल्याणीं वर्तध्वम् अनृशंसरूपाम् ॥
यथा च वः स्युः पतयो ऽनुकूलास्; तथा वृत्तिम् आत्मनः स्थापयध्वम् ॥
या नः स्नुषाः संजय वेत्थ तत्र; प्राप्ताः कुलेभ्यश् च गुणोपपन्नाः ॥
प्रजावत्यो ब्रूहि समेत्य ताश् च; युधिष्ठिरो वो ऽभ्यवदत् प्रसन्नः ॥
कन्याः स्वजेथाः सदनेषु संजय; अनामयं मद्वचनेन पृष्ट्वा ॥
कल्याणा वः सन्तु पतयो ऽनुकूला; यूयं पतीनां भवतानुकूलाः ॥
kaccit putrā jīvaputrāḥ susamyag; vartante vo vṛttim anṛśaṃsarūpām ||
iti smoktvā saṃjaya brūhi paścād; ajātaśatruḥ kuśalī saputraḥ ||
yā no bhāryāḥ saṃjaya vettha tatra; tāsāṃ sarvāsāṃ kuśalaṃ tāta pṛccheḥ ||
susaṃguptāḥ surabhayo 'navadyāḥ; kaccid gṛhān āvasathāpramattāḥ ||
kaccid vṛttiṃ śvaśureṣu bhadrāḥ; kalyāṇīṃ vartadhvam anṛśaṃsarūpām ||
yathā ca vaḥ syuḥ patayo 'nukūlās; tathā vṛttim ātmanaḥ sthāpayadhvam ||
yā naḥ snuṣāḥ saṃjaya vettha tatra; prāptāḥ kulebhyaś ca guṇopapannāḥ ||
prajāvatyo brūhi sametya tāś ca; yudhiṣṭhiro vo 'bhyavadat prasannaḥ ||
kanyāḥ svajethāḥ sadaneṣu saṃjaya; anāmayaṃ madvacanena pṛṣṭvā ||
kalyāṇā vaḥ santu patayo 'nukūlā; yūyaṃ patīnāṃ bhavatānukūlāḥ ||
You must first say this to them, O Sanjaya: I hope that you, mothers of living sons, are treated by your sons kindly, attentively, and worthily. Then you should tell them that all is well with Yudhishthira and his sons. As for those women, O Sanjaya, who hold the rank of our wives, you must ask after their well-being, addressing them also with these words: I hope you are well protected. I hope your righteous fame remains unblemished. I hope you live in your homes blamelessly and with care. I hope you comfort yourselves toward your fathers-in-law with kindness, praiseworthiness, and attentiveness. You must always conduct yourselves so as to win your husbands' favor! As for those young women, O Sanjaya, who stand to us as your daughters-in-law, who have come from noble families, who possess merit and are mothers of children — you must meet with all of them and tell them that Yudhishthira sends them his warm greetings. You must, O Sanjaya, embrace the daughters of your household and ask after their well-being on my behalf.
