Devanagari script

धार्रराष्ट्रो हि योधेषु सर्वेष्वेव सदार्जुन । तव मृत्युं रणे कर्ण मन्यते पुरुषर्षभ,पुरुषप्रवर अर्जुन! दुर्योधन रणक्षेत्रमें सम्पूर्ण योद्धाओंमेंसे कर्णको ही तुम्हारी मृत्यु मानता था

Transliteration

dhārtarāṣṭro hi yodheṣu sarveṣv eva sadārjuna | tava mṛtyuṃ raṇe karṇa manyate puruṣarṣabha ||

Translation

Yudhiṣṭhira said: “O Arjuna, among all the warriors, Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s son (Duryodhana) always regarded Karṇa as the very cause of your death in battle, O bull among men. In the moral blindness of war, he pinned his hope on one champion, imagining that Karṇa alone would bring about your fall.”
