Devanagari script
उत्सज् इव संवृद्ध द्रुपदस्यास्त्रवित्तमम् | शैखण्डिनं शस्त्रगुप्तं के च द्रोणादवारयन्,जो ट्रपटकी गोदमें पला हुआ था और शश्त्रोंद्वारा सुरक्षित था, अस्त्रवेत्ताओंमें श्रेष्ठ उस शिखण्डीपुत्रको द्रोणाचार्यके पास आनेसे किन वीरोंने रोका?

Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: “Who were the warriors that held back from Droṇācārya the well-protected Śikhaṇḍin—reared as it were in Drupada’s lap, guarded by weapons, and foremost among those skilled in the science of arms?”
