arjuna uvāca |
mā māṃ narendra tvamadharmabhājaṃ kṛthā na dharmo hyayamīpsito'nyaiḥ |
bhavānniveśyaḥ prathamaṃ tato'yaṃ bhīmo mahābāhuracintyakarmā || 8 ||

"Arjuna, hearing this, replied, 'O king, do not make me a participator in sin. Thy behest is not conformable to virtue. That is the path followed by the sinful. Thou shouldst wed first, then the strong-armed Bhima of inconceivable feats, then myself, then Nakula, and last of all, Sahadeva endued with great activity. Both Vrikodara and myself, and the twins and this maiden also, all await, O monarch, thy commands. When such is the state of things, do that, after reflection, which would be proper, and conformable virtue, and productive of fame, and beneficial unto the king of Panchala. All of us are obedient to thee. O, command us as thou likest.'
