Devanagari script
अर्जुनार्जुन बीभत्सो न न्यस्यं गाण्डिवं त्वया । शशाड्कस्येव ते पड़को नैर्मल्यं पातयिष्यति,“अर्जुन! अर्जुन! वीभत्सो! कहीं तुम भी न अपने गाण्डीव धनुषको नीचे डाल देना; नहीं तो तुममें भी चन्द्रमाके समान कलंक लग जायगा और वह तुम्हारी निर्मलताको नष्ट कर देगा”
Transliteration
arjunārjuna bībhatsa na nyasyaṃ gāṇḍīvaṃ tvayā | śaśāṅkasyeva te paṅko nairmalyaṃ pātayiṣyati ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: “Arjuna—Arjuna! O Bībhatsa! Do not let your Gāṇḍīva bow fall from your hands. If you lay it down, a stain will cling to you like the blemish upon the moon, and that blot will cast down your purity—your hard-won moral clarity and warrior-honour.”
