Dhritarashtra spoke:
O Sanjaya, I long for those with sight to witness Vasudeva nearby, resplendent in supreme form, illuminating all quarters and directions.
The speech of the Bharatas, which is revered and auspicious for the Sṛñjayas, is to be accepted by those who desire it. It is blameless and has a form that cannot be seized by enemies.
The rising hero of the Sātvatas, the leader and bull among the Yadavas, who destroys and agitates the enemies, indeed steals the fame of those who hate.
The assembled Kurus, indeed, saw him, the great soul and destroyer of enemies, speaking words of compassion, the most excellent among the Vrishnis, deluding my people.
The most ancient and wise sage, an ocean of speech and a vessel for ascetics, Arishtanemi, Garuda, and Suparna, the lord of all creatures and the abode of the world.
I seek refuge in the ancient being with a thousand heads, who is without beginning, middle, or end, infinite in fame, the creator of Śukra, unborn, progenitor, and supreme beyond others.
I take refuge in him, the creator of the three worlds, the originator, the chief among gods, demons, serpents, demons, kings, and the wise, the younger brother of Indra.
