Devanagari script
प्रगृह्म बाहून् क्रोशन्त्यः पुत्रान् भ्रातृन् पितृनपि । दर्शयन्तीव ता ह सम युगान्ते लोकसंक्षयम्,एक-दूसरीके हाथ पकड़कर पुत्रों, भाइयों और पिताओंके नाम ले-लेकर रोती हुई वे कुरुकुलकी नारियाँ प्रलयकालमें लोक-संहारका दृश्य दिखाती हुई-सी जान पड़ती थीं
Translation
Die Hände ineinander verschränkt, schrien sie laut, weinten und riefen die Namen ihrer Söhne, Brüder und selbst ihrer Väter; die Frauen des Kuru-Geschlechts schienen wie ein Bild der Weltenvernichtung zur Zeit des Endes der Äonen.
