Sabhā Parva, Adhyāya 13

Devanagari script

एवंगते ततस्तस्मिन्‌ पितरीवाश्वसञ्जना: । न तस्य विद्यते द्वेष्ठा ततो5स्याजातशत्रुता,उनका ऐसा व्यवहार देख सारी प्रजा उनके ऊपर पिताके समान भरोसा रखने लगी। उनके प्रति द्वेष रखनेवाला कोई नहीं रहा। इसीलिये वे “अजातशत्रु' नामसे प्रसिद्ध हुए

Transliteration

evaṃgate tatastasmīn pitarīvāśvasañjanāḥ | na tasya vidyate dveṣṭhā tato 'syājātaśatrutā ||

Translation

এভাবে সব কিছু স্থির হলে প্রজারা পিতার মতোই তাঁর ওপর আস্থা রাখল। তাঁর প্রতি বিদ্বেষ পোষণকারী কেউ রইল না; তাই তিনি ‘অজাতশত্রু’ নামে খ্যাত হলেন।
