Śaineya’s Breakthrough and Reunion with Arjuna (शैनेयस्य समागमः)
कुलीनार्यजनोपेतं तुष्टपुष्टमनुद्धतम् । कृतमानोपचारं च यशस्वि च मनस्वि च
kulīnāryajanopetaṁ tuṣṭapuṣṭam anuddhatam | kṛtamānopacāraṁ ca yaśasvi ca manasvi ca
সঞ্জয় ক’লে—তেওঁ কুলীন আৰু আৰ্যজনসকলৰ সৈতে আছিল; তৃপ্ত আৰু পুষ্ট, তথাপি উদ্ধত নহয়। যথোচিত মান-সন্মান আৰু শিষ্টোপচাৰ লাভ কৰা; তেওঁ যশস্বী আৰু উচ্চমনস্ক।
