'For thy bow is like a Vina, O hero—its two ends are like the ivory pillows, the string its main chord, and the staff, the finger-board. The arrows thou shootest are the notes it plays. Strike, then, in the midst of the foe, that melodious Vina of war!' ॥ 4-33-16 ॥

Truly, like Arjuna among his brothers, thou art, without doubt, the protector of all within these borders. We, the people of this kingdom, look to thee as our shield and support.' ॥ 4-33-20 ॥
