Babhruvāhana and Dhanaṃjaya’s engagement at Maṇipūra
Devanagari script
दुःशला चापि तान् योधान् निवार्य महतो रणात् | सम्पूज्य पार्थ प्रययौ गृहानेव शुभानना,तदनन्तर सुमुखी दुःशलाने उस महान् समरसे अपने समस्त योद्धाओंको पीछे लौटाया और अर्जुनकी प्रशंसा करती हुई वह अपने घरको लौट गयी
Transliteration
Duḥśalā cāpi tān yodhān nivārya mahato raṇāt | sampūjya Pārtha prayayau gṛhān eva śubhānanā ||
Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: Duḥśalā too, having restrained those warriors from the great battle, honored Pārtha (Arjuna) and then departed—she of auspicious countenance—returning to her home. The episode marks a dharmic turning away from needless bloodshed, honoring valor without prolonging enmity.
