Vāsudeva-Māhātmya: Duryodhana’s Inquiry and Bhīṣma’s Theological Account of Keśava
Devanagari script
वासुदेवस्त्वसम्भ्रान्तो धैर्यमास्थाय सत्त्ववान् | चोदयामास तानश्वान् विचितान् भीष्मसायकै:,परंतु शक्तिशाली भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण तनिक भी घबराहटमें न पड़कर धैर्यका सहारा ले उन घोड़ोंको हाँकते रहे। यद्यपि भीष्मके बाण उन अभश्वोंके सभी अंगोंमें धँसे हुए थे
Translation
حينئذٍ كان فاسوديفا (شري كريشنا) ثابت الجأش، قوي العزم، لم يداخله اضطرابٌ قطّ؛ فاستند إلى الصبر وواصل حثَّ تلك الخيول على التقدّم، وإن كانت سهامُ بهيشما قد انغرست في جميع أعضائها.
