Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s appraisal of Vāsudeva’s deeds
तं विसंज्ञं निपतितं सिषिचु: परिचारिका: । जलेनात्यर्थशीतेन वीजन्त्य: पुण्यगन्धिना,उस समय अचेत पड़े हुए राजा धृतराष्ट्रको उनकी दासियाँ पंखा झलने लगीं और उनके ऊपर परम सुगन्धित एवं अत्यन्त शीतल जल छिड़कने लगीं
taṁ visaṁjñaṁ nipatitaṁ siṣicuḥ paricārikāḥ | jalenātyarthaśītena vījantyaḥ puṇyagandhinā ||
সেই সময় অচেতন হৈ পৰি থকা ৰজা ধৃতৰাষ্ট্ৰক পৰিচাৰিকাসকলে অতি শীতল পানী ছটিয়াই দিলে আৰু পুণ্যগন্ধযুক্ত পাখাৰে বতাহ কৰিবলৈ ধৰিলে।
