Drona to Duryodhana

O king, go and tell my son Aswatthaman who is present in battle that even at the risk of his life

1. he should not let the Somakas alone. 
2. Observe all the instructions thou hast received from thy father. 
3. Be firm 
1. in acts of humility, 
2. in self-restraint, 
3. in truth and 
4. righteousness. 
4. Observant of 
1. religion, 
2. profit, and 
3. pleasure, 
4. without neglecting religion and profit, thou shouldst always accomplish those acts in which religion predominates. 
5. The Brahmanas should always be gratified with presents. All of them deserve thy worship. Thou shouldst never do anything that is injurious to them. They are like flames of fire.
