O Mādhava, speak thus to Kṛṣṇā—auspicious and renowned—the daughter-in-law of great-souled Pāṇḍu, who discerns the distinctions of dharma.

युक्तमेतन्महाभागे कुले जाते यशस्विनि । यन्मे पुत्रेषु सर्वेषु यथावत्त्वमवर्तिथाः॥५-१३५-१२॥
This is fitting, O fortunate and illustrious one, born into a noble lineage: that you have conducted yourself rightly toward all my sons.

Address Mādrī’s two sons as well, both steadfast in kṣatriya-dharma: “Choose the enjoyments and honors won by valor, even above mere survival.”

O Puruṣottama, resources gained through valor by one who lives in kṣatriya-dharma continually gladden a person’s mind.

यच्च वः प्रेक्षमाणानां सर्वधर्मोपचायिनी । पाञ्चाली परुषाण्युक्ता को नु तत्क्षन्तुमर्हति॥५-१३५-१५॥
And while you looked on, Pāñcālī—she who fosters the fullness of all dharmas—was assailed with harsh words; who could rightly be expected to endure that?
