Shloka 28
तमिषुं संधितं दृष्टवा सूतपुत्रेण मारिष । विषादं परमं जग्मुः पाण्डवा दीनचेतस:,माननीय नरेश! जब सूतपुत्रने उस बाणका संधान किया, उस समय उसे देखकर समस्त पाण्डव दीनचित्त हो बड़े भारी विषादमें डूब गये
tam iṣuṁ sandhitaṁ dṛṣṭvā sūtaputreṇa māriṣa | viṣādaṁ paramaṁ jagmuḥ pāṇḍavā dīnacetasāḥ ||
قال سنجيا: «أيها المُبجَّل! لما رأى الباندافا ابنَ السائق (كارنا) يضع السهم على القوس، هوت قلوبهم، وغمرهم أعمقُ ما يكون من الكآبة واليأس.»
