Chapter 17
Devanagari script
अद्यास्त्वनर्जुना भूमिरत्रिगर्ताथ वा पुन: । सत्यं ते प्रतिजानीमो नैतन्मिथ्या भविष्यति,“आज हम आपके सामने यह सत्य प्रतिज्ञापूर्वक कहते हैं कि यह भूमि या तो अर्जुनसे सूनी हो जायगी या त्रिर्गतोंमेंसे कोई इस भूतलपर नहीं रह जायगा। मेरा यह कथन कभी मिथ्या नहीं होगा”
Translation
“Today, before you, we pledge in truth: either this land shall be rid of Arjuna, or not a single one among the Trigartas shall remain upon the earth. This word of mine shall never prove false.”
