Devanagari script
आर्ये क््व दारका: सर्वे द्रष्टमिच्छामि तानहम् । “उस वीरके मारे जानेपर मेरी यह बहिन सुभद्रा दुःखसे आतुर हो पुत्रके पास जाकर कुररीकी भाँति विलाप करने लगी और द्रौपदीके पास जाकर दुःखमग्न हो पूछने लगी --'आर्ये! सब बच्चे कहाँ हैं? मैं उन सबको देखना चाहती हूँ!
Translation
“Noble lady! Where are all the children? I wish to see them all.”—When that hero was slain, my sister Subhadrā, stricken with grief, went to her son and wailed like a kurarī-bird; then she came to Draupadī and, sunk in sorrow, asked: “Noble lady! Where are all the children? I wish to see them all.”
