Shloka 28
सर्वास्त्रज्ञान् महेष्वासान् सर्वानेव महाबलान् । अनिवर्तिनो महाभागानजय्यान् सत्यविक्रमान्,शल्यने कहा--सूतपुत्र! तुम पाण्डवोंकी अवहेलना कैसे करते हो। वे सब-के-सब तो सम्पूर्ण अस्त्रोंके ज्ञाता, महाधनुर्धर, महाबलवान, युद्धसे पीछे न हटनेवाले, अजेय तथा सत्यपराक्रमी हैं
sarvāstrajñān maheṣvāsān sarvān eva mahābalān | anivartino mahābhāgān ajayyān satyavikramān ||
তেওঁলোক সকলোৱে সৰ্বাস্ত্ৰজ্ঞ, মহাধনুৰ্ধৰ, মহাবলবান; যুদ্ধত নপিছুওৱা, মহাভাগ্যবান, অজেয় আৰু সত্যপৰাক্ৰমী।

Educational Q&A
