Shloka 29
Devanagari script
न चाद्भुतमिदं मन्ये यद् द्रौणिर्युद्धसंज्ञया । घातयिष्यति कौरव्यान् परित्रातुमशक्नुवन्,मैं इसे कोई अद्भुत बात नहीं मान रहा हूँ; अश्वत्थामा इस युद्धके द्वारा कौरवोंको मरवा डालेगा; क्योंकि वह स्वयं उनकी रक्षा करनेमें असमर्थ है
Transliteration
na cādbhutam idaṃ manye yad drauṇir yuddhasaṃjñayā | ghātayiṣyati kauravyān paritrātum aśaknuvan ||
Translation
Dhṛṣṭadyumna said: “I do not regard this as anything astonishing—that Droṇa’s son, under the pretext of ‘war,’ will have the Kauravas slain, since he is unable to protect them himself.”
