क्लेशांश्च विविधान्कृष्ण सर्वांस्तानपि वेत्थ नः ॥ ७.८३.११ ॥
O Kṛṣṇa, you know all of it: the ruin of our kingdom, the dishonor we suffered at the hands of our enemies, and the many afflictions we endured.

युधि यत्कुरुषे कृष्ण सारथ्यं त्वं समास्थितः ॥ ७.८३.१५ ॥

अहं च तत्करिष्यामि तथा कुन्तीसुतोऽर्जुनः ।
धार्तराष्ट्रस्य सैन्यानि धक्ष्यत्यग्निरिवेन्धनम् ॥ ७.८३.२४ ॥
I too will do that, and Arjuna, the son of Kuntī, will likewise do so; he will burn the armies of the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra as fire burns fuel.
7.83.25
अद्य तं पापकर्माणं क्षुद्रं सौभद्रघातिनम् ।
