English: It is highly proper for these illustrious princess to return to their ancestral kingdom. But it is not proper for me to say this myself. If the hero, Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, if Bhima and Arjuna, if these best of men the twins (Nakula and Sahadeva) and if Rama and Krishna, both learned in the precepts of religion, wish it, then let the Pandavas go there. These two best of men (Rama and Krishna) are ever engaged in doing what is agreeable and beneficial to them (the Pandavas).
