Devanagari script

तत्र नः प्रथम: कल्पो यद्‌ वयं ते च माधव । प्रशान्ता: समभूताश्च श्रियं तामश्रुवीमहि

Transliteration

tatra naḥ prathamaḥ kalpo yad vayaṃ te ca mādhava | praśāntāḥ samabhūtāś ca śriyaṃ tām aśruvīmahi ||

Translation

মাধব! এ বিষয়ে আমাদের প্রথম সংকল্প এই—আমরা ও কৌরবরা সন্ধি করে শান্ত হয়ে মিলিত থাকি, এবং সেই সমৃদ্ধি সমভাবে ভোগ করি। নীতির প্রথম স্থান সংঘাতজয় নয়, বরং ঐক্য ও সর্বকল্যাণ।
