उत्पथं मन्यसे मार्गमनभिज्ञ इवाध्वगः ॥ ५.६५.१ ॥

Vāsudeva too is unassailable; where the self-controlled Pāṇḍava is, not even the earth can bear it, and where Keśava is, that force is unbearable.
5.65.11
तिष्ठ तात सतां वाक्ये सुहृदामर्थवादिनाम् ।
वृद्धं शान्तनवं भीष्मं तितिक्षस्व पितामहम् ॥ ५.६५.११ ॥

सर्वे धर्मविदो ह्येते तुल्यस्नेहाश्च भारत ॥ ५.६५.१३ ॥

If Arjuna did that, how much more could you all do? He is your brother; recognize him by his conduct and honor him accordingly.
