Shloka 22
Aśvatthāman’s Admonition to Karṇa on Boasting, Varṇa-Duties, and the Threat of Arjuna
Virāṭa-parva, Adhyāya 45
Devanagari script
यो5यं काञ्चनसंनाह: पार्ष्णि वहति शोभन: । समं॑ शैब्यस्य तं मन््ये जवेन बलवत्तरम्,यह जो सोनेके बख्तरसे सजा हुआ सुन्दर अश्व बाँयीं ओर पिछला जुआ ढो रहा है, इसे वेगमें मैं शैब्य नामक अश्वके समान अत्यन्त बलवान मानता हूँ
Transliteration
yo 'yaṁ kāñcanasaṁnāhaḥ pārṣṇiṁ vahati śobhanaḥ | samaṁ śaibyasya taṁ manye javena balavattaram ||
Translation
উত্তরা বলল—এই সুদর্শন অশ্বটি স্বর্ণবর্মে সজ্জিত এবং বামদিকে পশ্চাৎ-যূগ বহন করছে; আমি একে বেগে ‘শৈব্য’ অশ্বের সমান—বরং আরও বলবান—মনে করি।
