tasmād idaṁ daiva-tantraṁ vyavasya bharatarṣabha tasyānuvihito 'nāthā nātha pāhi prajāḥ prabho
Translation
O best among the descendants of Bharata [Yudhiṣṭhira], I maintain, therefore, that all this is within the plan of the Lord. Accepting the inconceivable plan of the Lord, you must follow it. You are now the appointed administrative head, and, my lord, you should now take care of those subjects who are now rendered helpless.
