तासु पुत्राश्च पौत्राश्च मम जाता जनार्दन । तासु मे हृदयं कृष्ण संजातं कामबन्धनम्॥५-१३९-११॥

Through them, sons and grandsons have been born to me, O Janārdana; and toward them my heart, O Kṛṣṇa, has become bound by the bonds of attachment.

Not for the whole earth, nor for heaps of gold—nor from elation nor from fear, O Govinda—am I willing to speak what is untrue.

Within Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s lineage, O Kṛṣṇa, under Duryodhana’s patronage, I have enjoyed unimpeded royal power for thirteen years.
