Bharata, the foremost among the victorious, clearing his tearchoked throat and covering his auspicious countenance with raiment, wept in profound distress with tears overflowing. [2-72-21]
Anguished and griefstricken, he who resembled the gods, fell down on the ground like a trunk of the sala tree in the forest severed by an axe. [2-72-22]
- 'Oh ! illustrious prince arise, arise. Why are you lying down on the floor? Learned people like you, who are worthy of honour in the assembly ought not to grieve like this. [2-72-24]
दानयज्ञाधिकारा हि शीलश्रुतिवचोऽनुगा | बुद्धिस्ते बुद्धिसम्पन्न प्रभेवार्कस्य मन्दिरे || २-७२-२५
Oh ! highly intelligent one, by your wisdom, virtuous conduct and scriptural knowledge you are entitled to dispense charity and perform sacrifices. You will always shine incessantly like light of the Sun.' [2-72-25]
