Shloka 12
Adhyāya 92: Irāvanta-śoka, punaḥ-pravṛttiḥ saṅgrāmasya
Arjuna’s grief and the battle’s renewed intensity
विदुरद्रोणभीष्माणां तथान्येषां हितैषिणाम् । अकृत्वा वचन पथ्यं क्षयं गच्छन्ति कौरवा:,विदुर, द्रोण, भीष्म तथा अन्य हितैषियोंके हितकर वचनोंको न माननेके कारण इन कौरवोंका विनाश हो रहा है
sañjaya uvāca | vidura-droṇa-bhīṣmāṇāṃ tathā anyeṣāṃ hitaiṣiṇām | akṛtvā vacanaṃ pathyaṃ kṣayaṃ gacchanti kauravāḥ ||
قال سانجيا: لأن الكوروڤا لم يعملوا بالمشورة النافعة السديدة التي قالها فيدورا ودرونا وبيشما وسائر الناصحين، فإنهم اليوم يسيرون إلى الهلاك.
