Drupada’s Alarm and Inquiry Regarding Śikhaṇḍinī (द्रुपदस्य भय-विमर्शः)
Devanagari script
यदि भीष्म: स्त्रियं हन्यात् सन्त: कुर्युविगर्हणम् । नैनं तस्माद्धनिष्यामि दृष्टवापि समरे स्थितम्,यदि भीष्म स्त्रीका वध करे तो साधु पुरुष इसकी निन्दा करेंगे, अत: शिखण्डीको समरभूमिमें खड़ा देखकर भी मैं इसे नहीं मारूँगा
Transliteration
yadi bhīṣmaḥ striyaṃ hanyāt santaḥ kuryur vigarhaṇam | nainaṃ tasmād haniṣyāmi dṛṣṭvāpi samare sthitam ||
Translation
Bhīṣma sagte: „Wenn ich, Bhīṣma, eine Frau erschlüge, würden die Rechtschaffenen diese Tat tadeln. Darum werde ich ihn nicht töten – selbst wenn ich ihn auf dem Schlachtfeld stehen sehe.“
