Devanagari script
अव्यग्रानेव हि परान् कथयस्यपराजितान् । हृष्टानुदीर्णान् संग्रामे न तथा सूत मामकान्,सूत! तुम मेरे शत्रुओंको तो व्यग्रतारहित, अपराजित, हर्ष और उत्साहसे युक्त तथा संग्राममें वेगपूर्वक आगे बढ़नेवाले ही बता रहे हो; परंतु मेरे पुत्रोंकी ऐसी अवस्था नहीं बताते
Translation
O Sūta! You speak of my enemies as untroubled and unconquered, filled with joy and ardor, surging forward in battle; yet you do not describe my sons as being in such a state.
