Shloka 21
द्रोणानीकाभिमुखगमनम्
Abhimanyu advances toward Droṇa’s host
धनंजयसमं युद्धे त्वां वयं तात संयुगे । प्रणिधायानुयास्यामो रक्षन्त: सर्वतोमुखा:,बेटा! हमलोग युद्धस्थलमें तुम्हें अर्जुनके समान मानते हैं। हम अपना ध्यान तुम्हारी ही ओर रखकर सब ओरसे तुम्हारी रक्षा करते हुए तुम्हारे साथ ही चलेंगे
dhanañjayasamaṃ yuddhe tvāṃ vayaṃ tāta saṃyuge | praṇidhāyānuyāsyāmo rakṣantaḥ sarvatomukhāḥ ||
সঞ্জয় ক’লে—তাত! যুদ্ধক্ষেত্ৰত আমি তোমাক ধনঞ্জয় (অৰ্জুন) সমান বুলি মানো। মন কেৱল তোমাৰ ওপৰতে স্থিৰ কৰি, সকলো দিশৰ পৰা তোমাক ৰক্ষা কৰি, আমি তোমাৰ পিছে পিছে যাম।
