naradeva kathaṃ karma rāṣṭre tasya kariṣyasi |
virāṭanṛpateḥ sādho raṃsyase kena karmaṇā || 16 ||

Arjuna said, "O god among men, what service wilt thou take in Virata's kingdom? O righteous one, in what capacity wilt thou reside in the city of Virata? Thou art mild, and charitable, and modest, and virtuous, and firm in promise. What wilt thou, O king, afflicted as thou art with calamity, do? A king is qualified to bear trouble like an ordinary person. How wilt thou overcome this great calamity that has overtaken thee?"
