Shloka 52
Bhīma–Duryodhana Gadāyuddha Saṃkalpa
Resolve for the Mace Duel
Devanagari script
दुर्योधन उवाच एकैकेन च मां यूयामासीदत युधिष्छिर । न होको बहुभिन्याय्यो वीरो योधयितुं युधि,दुर्योधन बोला--युधिष्ठिर! तुमलोग एक-एक करके मेरे साथ युद्धके लिये आते जाओ। रणभूमिमें किसी एक वीरको बहुसंख्यक वीरोंके साथ युद्धके लिये विवश करना न्यायसंगत नहीं है
Translation
Duryodhana sprach: Yudhiṣṭhira, kommt einer nach dem anderen zu mir, um zu kämpfen. Auf dem Schlachtfeld ist es nicht gerecht, einen einzigen Helden zu zwingen, gegen viele Helden zu streiten.
