Devanagari script
तस्मान्न तापं दुहितुर्निमित्तं पाञज्चालराजो<हति कर्तुमद्य । न चापि तत्पातनमन्यथेह कर्तु हि शक््यं भुवि मानवेन,“अतः पांचालराजको अब अपनी पुत्रीके लिये पश्चात्ताप करना उचित नहीं है। इस पृथ्वीपर उस वीरके सिवा ऐसा कोई मनुष्य नहीं है, जो उस लक्ष्यको वेध सके”
Translation
Dhṛṣṭadyumna sprach: „Darum soll der König der Pāñcālas heute keinen Kummer um seiner Tochter willen tragen. Und auf dieser Erde gibt es, außer jenem Helden, keinen Menschen, der jenes Ziel durchbohren und zu Fall bringen könnte.“
