Those who, having incurred hostility with others, continually attach themselves to me, and who always bow to me as the Vasus bow to Vāsava—how could I abandon them?

मम प्राणेन ये शत्रूञ्शक्ताः प्रतिसमासितुम् । मन्यन्तेऽद्य कथं तेषामहं भिन्द्यां मनोरथम्॥५-१४४-१३॥
Those who believe that, by my very life, they are able to confront their adversaries—how could I today shatter their expectation?

english translation
अयं हि कालः संप्राप्तो धार्तराष्ट्रोपजीविनाम् । निर्वेष्टव्यं मया तत्र प्राणानपरिरक्षता॥५-१४४-१५॥
This time has indeed arrived for those who subsist upon the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra; there I must act decisively, without prioritizing the preservation of my own life.
