Duryodhana’s Armor and the Tactical Reassessment
Devanagari script
वायुदेव उवाच मा शोकं कुरु वार्ष्णेयि कुमारं प्रति सस्नुषा । सर्वेषां प्राणिनां भीरु निष्ैषा कालनिर्मिता,भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण बोले--वृष्णिनन्दिनी! तुम और पुत्रवधू उत्तरा कुमार अभिमन्युके लिये शोक न करो। भीरु! काल एक दिन सभी प्राणियोंकी ऐसी ही अवस्था कर देता है
Translation
Vāyu said: “Do not grieve, O Vārṣṇeyī. You and your daughter-in-law Uttarā should not mourn the young Abhimanyu. O timid one, Kāla—Time and Fate—has ordained that all living beings must one day come to such a condition.”
