Devanagari script
तत्रावहारं सम्प्राप्तं मन्ये5हं पुरुषर्षभ । श्रान्ता भीताश्न नो योधा न योत्स्यन्ति कथंचन,“अतः नरश्रेष्ठ! मैं इस समय समस्त सैनिकोंको युद्धसे हटा लेना ही उचित समझता हूँ। हमारे सभी योद्धा थके-माँदे और डरे हुए हैं; अतः इस समय किसी तरह युद्ध नहीं कर सकेंगे”
Translation
“Therefore, O best of men, I deem it right that we now withdraw all the troops from the fight. Our warriors are weary and afraid; at this moment they cannot, in any way, continue to battle.”
