‘They have allies who, learning of such unjust treatment, would support them in battle and willingly sacrifice their lives to destroy their persecutors. Even if you think the Pandavas too few to overcome their enemies, know that, united and followed by their friends, they would certainly strive with all their might to defeat them.’ ।। 5-1-21 ।।
