Transliteration
ye khalv ajiddāḥ kṛpaṇā alpaprāṇā apāṇayaḥ | sahante tāni duḥkhāni diṣṭyā tvaṃ na tathā mune ||
Translation
Bhīṣma sprach: „Jene erbarmungswürdigen Geschöpfe — schwach an Lebenskraft und ohne Hände — ertragen solche Leiden. Durch gutes Geschick, o Weiser, bist du nicht dazu bestimmt, derartige Qualen zu erdulden.“
