Shloka 40

Devanagari script

न चास्य रक्षां पश्यामि पार्श्वतो न च पृष्ठत: । एक एवाभियाति त्वां पश्य साफल्यमात्मन:,“मैं देखता हूँ कि अगल-बगलसे या पीछेकी ओरसे उनकी रक्षाका कोई प्रबन्ध नहीं किया गया है। वे अकेले ही तुमपर चढ़ाई कर रहे हैं; अतः देखो, तुम्हें अपनी सफलताके लिये कैसा सुन्दर अवसर हाथ लगा है

Translation

“And I see no guard for him, neither at his sides nor at his back. Alone he advances against you; therefore see—what a splendid chance has come into your hands for your own success.”
