Shloka 49
नारायणास्त्र-शमनं द्रौणि-प्रहारश्च
Pacification of the Nārāyaṇāstra and Drauni’s Renewed Assault
Devanagari script
पुत्रश्न पितरं मोहातू सखायं च सखा तथा । स्वस्त्रीयं मातुलश्चापि स्वस्रीयश्चापि मातुलम्
Transliteration
putraśna pitaraṃ mohāt sakhāyaṃ ca sakhā tathā | svastrīyaṃ mātulaś cāpi svasrīyaś cāpi mātulam ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: In delusion, a son may strike down his own father; a friend may strike a friend. Likewise, a man may strike his sister’s son, and even a maternal uncle may strike his sister’s son—so thoroughly does confusion overturn natural bonds in war.
