Devanagari script
ते प्रतिज्ञाप्रतीघातमिच्छन्त: सव्यसाचिन: । सहितास्तावकास्तूर्णमभिपेतुर्धन॑ंजयम्,यह देख सव्यसाची अर्जुनकी प्रतिज्ञाको भंग करनेकी अभिलाषासे आपके वे सभी सैनिक एक साथ संगठित हो तुरंत उनपर टूट पड़े
Transliteration
te pratijñā-pratīghātam icchantaḥ savyasācinaḥ | sahitās tāvakās tūrṇam abhipetur dhanañjayam ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Wishing to thwart the vow of Savyasācin (Arjuna), all your warriors, gathered together, rushed swiftly to assail Dhanañjaya. The scene shows how, in war, foes aim not only at the body but at breaking a hero’s pledged word—an assault on resolve and honor as much as on arms.
