Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Sañjaya Dialogue: Description of the Night Engagement of Karṇa and Ghaṭotkaca

Devanagari script

अनाक्षर्यो जयस्तेषां येषां नाथोडसि केशव,“केशव! आप जिनके रक्षक हैं, उनकी विजय हो, इसमें कोई आश्वर्यकी बात नहीं है। आपके कृपा-प्रसादसे राजा युधिष्छिर सम्पूर्ण भूमण्डलका राज्य प्राप्त कर लेंगे। वृष्णिनन्दन! प्रभो! यह आपका ही प्रभाव और आपकी ही विजय है। मधुसूदन! आपकी बधाईके पात्र तो हमलोग सदा ही बने रहेंगे!

Translation

Sañjaya said: “O Keśava, it is no wonder that victory belongs to those whose protector you are. By the grace of your favor, King Yudhiṣṭhira will obtain sovereignty over the whole circle of the earth. O delight of the Vṛṣṇis, Lord—this is your very power, and this is your victory. O Madhusūdana, we shall always remain worthy recipients of your blessing.”
