Shloka 19
तवापि समतिक्रान्तमेतद् गावल्गणे कथम् | एतमर्थ महाबुद्धे यत् त्वया नावबोधित:,परम बुद्धिमान् गवल्गणकुमार! तुम्हारे ध्यानसे यह बात कैसे निकल गयी कि तुमने कर्णको इसके विषयमें कुछ नहीं समझाया
tavāpi samatikrāntam etad gāvalgaṇe katham | etam arthaṃ mahābuddhe yat tvayā nāvabodhitaḥ ||
ধৃতৰাষ্ট্ৰ ক’লে—হে গাৱল্গণ! এই কথা তোমাৰ দৃষ্টিৰ পৰাও কেনেকৈ সৰি গ’ল? হে মহাবুদ্ধিমান, তুমি এই অৰ্থ কেনেকৈ নুবুজিলা?
