धृतराष्ट्रदर्शनाय पाण्डवानां प्रयाणम् | The Pāṇḍavas Prepare to Visit Dhṛtarāṣṭra

Devanagari script

“इसमें तुम्हारा कोई अपराध नहीं है; क्योंकि उस समय तुम अभी कुमारी बालिका थी। देवतालोग अणिमा आदि ऐश्वर्योंसे सम्पन्न होते हैं; अतः दूसरेके शरीरोंमें प्रविष्ट हो जाते हैं

Transliteration

atra tava kaścid aparādho nāsti; yataḥ tadā tvaṃ kumārī bālikā āsīḥ. devatāḥ aṇimādi-aiśvarya-sampannāḥ santi; ataḥ te pareṣāṃ śarīreṣu praviśanti.

Translation

Vaiśampāyana sprach: „Darin liegt keine Schuld bei dir, denn damals warst du noch ein unverheiratetes junges Mädchen. Die Götter besitzen Kräfte wie aṇimā und andere übernatürliche Vollkommenheiten; daher vermögen sie, in die Körper anderer einzudringen.“
