Perhaps, she is still more careful of them.  And, O Krishna, as Rukmini’s son is the preceptor of Aniruddha, of Abhimanyu, of Sunitha, and of Bhanu; so he is the preceptor and the refuge of your sons also!  And a good preceptor, would unceasingly give them lessons in the wielding of maces and swords and bucklers, in missiles and in the arts of driving cars and of riding horses, being valiant.  And he, the son of Rukmini, having bestowed a very good training upon them, and having taught them the art of using various weapons in a proper way, takes satisfaction at the valorous deeds of your sons, and of Abhimanyu, O daughter of Drupada!  And when your son goes out, in pursuit of (out-door) sports, each one of them is followed thither by cars and horses and vehicles and elephants.’  And Krishna said to the virtuous king, Yudhishthira, ’The fighting men of the Dasarha tribe, and the Kukuras, and the Andhakas—­let these, O king, place themselves at thy command—­let them perform what thou desirest them.  O lord of men, let the army of the tribe of Madhus, (resistless) like the wind, with their bows and led by Balarama whose weapon is the plough—­let that army, equipped (for war), consisting of horsemen and foot soldiers and horses and cars and elephants, prepare to do your bidding.  O son of Pandu!  Drive Duryodhana, the son of Dhritarashtra, the vilest of sinful men, together with his followers and his hosts of friends to the path betaken by the lord of Saubha, the son of the Earth!  You, O ruler of men, are welcome to stick to that stipulation which was made in the assembly-hall—­but let the city of Hastina be made ready for you, when the hostile force has been slain by the soldiers of the Dasarha tribe!  Having roamed at your pleasure in all those places where you may desire to go, having got rid of your grief and freed from all your sins—­you will reach the city of Hastina—­the well-known city situated in the midst of a fine territory!’—­Then the magnanimous king having been acquainted with the view, thus clearly set forth by Krishna that best of men, and, having applauded the same, and having deliberated, thus spoke with joined palms unto Kesava, ’O Kesava, no doubt, thou art the refuge of the sons of Pandu; for the sons of Pandu have their protector in thee!  When the time will come, there is no doubt that thou wilt do all the work just mentioned by thee; and even more than the same!  As promised by us, we have spent all the twelve years in lonely forests.  O Kesava, having in the prescribed way completed the period for living unrecognised, the sons of Pandu will take refuge in thee.  This should be the intention of those that associate with thee, O Krishna!  The sons of Pandu swerve not from the path of truth, for the sons of Pritha with their charity and their piety with their people and their wives and with their relations have their protector in thee!’”
