virāṭa uvāca |
yadasti kiṃcinmama vājivāhanaṃ tadastu sarvaṃ tvadadhīnamadya vai |
ye cāpi kecinmama vājiyojakāstvadāśrayāḥ sārathayaśca santu me || 9 ||
"Virata said, 'Whatever horses I have, I consign to thy care even from today. And all the keepers of my horses and all my charioteers will from today be subordinate to thee. If this suits thee, say what remuneration is desired by thee. But, O thou that resemblest a celestial, the office of equerry is not worthy of thee. For thou lookest like a king and I esteem thee much. The appearance here hath pleased me as much as if Yudhishthira himself were here. Oh, how does that blameless son of Pandu dwell and divert himself in the forest, now destitute of servants as he is.'
