Shloka 116
Devanagari script
येनासि बहुशो राज्ञा चोदित: सूतनन्दन । “उत्तम व्रतका पालन करनेवाले वीर! मैं कभी-कभी तुमसे जो कठोर वचन बोल दिया करता था, उसका उद्देश्य था, तुम्हारे उत्साह और तेजको नष्ट करना; क्योंकि सूतनन्दन! तुम राजा दुर्योधनके उकसानेसे अकारण ही समस्त पाण्डवोंपर बहुत बार आक्षेप किया करते थे
Translation
“O son of a sūta, heroic keeper of an excellent vow! At times I spoke harsh words to you. My aim was not to destroy your ardor and splendor; rather, O Sūtanandana, because at King Duryodhana’s urging you repeatedly assailed all the Pāṇḍavas without cause.”
