vaiśampāyana uvāca | nikṛtiṃ samupāśritaḥ | śakunir yudhiṣṭhiram abhāṣata |

Translation

قال فَيْشَمْبَايَنَة: إن شَكُوني، وقد احتمى بحِيَلٍ خادعة، خاطبَ يُدْهِشْتِيرَا. وتلك اللحظة تُعلن انعطافًا مقصودًا من السلوك القويم إلى التلاعب، فتقيم توترَ المشهد الأخلاقي: ملكٌ بارٌّ يُستدرَج إلى منافسة صاغتها المكرُ لا الدَّرْمَا.
