Abhimanyu’s Fall and the Battlefield Aftermath
संदधानस्य विशिखान् शीघ्रं चैव विमुज्चत: । “इस पुरुषसिंह पाण्डवपुत्रकी शीघ्रता तो देखो। शीघ्रतापूर्वक बाणोंका संधान करते और छोड़ते समय रथके मार्गोंमें इसके धनुषका मण्डलमात्र दिखायी देता है
saṃdadhānasya viśikhān śīghraṃ caiva vimucyataḥ |
“এই পুৰুষসিংহ পাণ্ডৱপুত্ৰৰ ক্ষিপ্ৰতা চাওক। সি ইমান দ্ৰুতগতিত বাণ সংধান কৰি এৰি দিয়ে যে ৰথৰ পথত কেৱল তাৰ ধনুৰ বৃত্তাকাৰ ঘূৰণিটোহে দেখা যায়।”
