मां चैव धृतराष्ट्रं च पूर्वमेव महाद्युते । चित्रकार इवालेख्यं कृत्वा मा स्म विनाशय । प्रजापतिः प्रजाः सृष्ट्वा यथा संहरते तथा॥५-१४६-२२॥
Me, and Dhṛtarāṣṭra as well—you had earlier fashioned us, O greatly radiant one, like a painter composing an image; do not now bring us to ruin. As Prajāpati, having created beings, later withdraws them, so too (do not let such a withdrawal occur here).
