अर्थस्य पुरुषो दासो दासस्त्वर्थो न कस्यचित् । इति सत्यं महाराज बद्धोऽस्म्यर्थेन कौरवैः॥६-४१-५१॥

A person is a servant of wealth; wealth is not the servant of anyone—this is true, O great king. I am bound by material obligation to the Kauravas.

english translation

अतस्त्वां क्लीबवद्ब्रूमो युद्धादन्यत्किमिच्छसि । योत्स्यामि कौरवस्यार्थे तवाशास्यो जयो मया॥६-४१-५२॥

Therefore I speak to you as to one who hesitates: what do you seek other than battle? I shall fight for the Kaurava cause; victory over me is what you may hope for.

english translation

युधिष्ठिर उवाच । जयमाशास्स्व मे ब्रह्मन्मन्त्रयस्व च मद्धितम् । युध्यस्व कौरवस्यार्थे वर एष वृतो मया॥६-४१-५३॥

Yudhiṣṭhira said: Wish victory for me, O brāhmaṇa, and counsel what is for my welfare. Fight for the Kaurava cause—this is the boon I have chosen.

english translation

द्रोण उवाच । ध्रुवस्ते विजयो राजन्यस्य मन्त्री हरिस्तव । अहं च त्वाभिजानामि रणे शत्रून्विजेष्यसि॥६-४१-५४॥

Droṇa said: Your victory is certain, O king, for Hari is your counsellor. And I know you: in battle you will overcome your adversaries.

english translation

यतो धर्मस्ततः कृष्णो यतः कृष्णस्ततो जयः । युध्यस्व गच्छ कौन्तेय पृच्छ मां किं ब्रवीमि ते॥६-४१-५५॥

Where dharma is, there is Kṛṣṇa; where Kṛṣṇa is, there is victory. Fight and proceed, O son of Kuntī; ask me—what shall I say to you?
