वैशंपायन उवाच । संजये प्रतियाते तु धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः । अभ्यभाषत दाशार्हमृषभं सर्वसात्वताम्॥५-७०-१॥

Vaiśaṃpāyana said: When Sañjaya had departed, King Yudhiṣṭhira, upholder of dharma, addressed Dāśārha (Kṛṣṇa), the foremost among all the Sātvatas.

अयं स कालः संप्राप्तो मित्राणां मे जनार्दन । न च त्वदन्यं पश्यामि यो न आपत्सु तारयेत्॥५-७०-२॥

This critical hour has come upon my allies, O Janārdana; and I see none but you who can carry them through adversity.

त्वां हि माधव संश्रित्य निर्भया मोहदर्पितम् । धार्तराष्ट्रं सहामात्यं स्वमंशमनुयुञ्ज्महे॥५-७०-३॥

For, relying on you, O Mādhava, we confidently engage the Dhārtarāṣṭra faction with its ministers, emboldened by delusion; and to this endeavor we commit our own cause.

यथा हि सर्वास्वापत्सु पासि वृष्णीनरिंदम । तथा ते पाण्डवा रक्ष्याः पाह्यस्मान्महतो भयात्॥५-७०-४॥

Just as you protect the Vṛṣṇis in every crisis, O subduer of foes, so too must the Pāṇḍavas be protected by you; save us from a grave danger.

भगवानुवाच । अयमस्मि महाबाहो ब्रूहि यत्ते विवक्षितम् । करिष्यामि हि तत्सर्वं यत्त्वं वक्ष्यसि भारत॥५-७०-५॥

The Blessed Lord said: “I am here, O mighty-armed one. Speak what you wish to say. Truly I shall carry out all that you will ask, O Bhārata.”
