Adhyāya 45 — Duryodhana’s Distress, Śakuni’s Counsel, and the Summons for Dyūta
Devanagari script
ततः केचिन्महीपाला नाब्रुवंस्तत्र किंचन । अतीतवाक्पथे काले प्रेक्षमाणा जनार्दनम्,वह समय वाणीकी पहुँचके परे था। उसका वर्णन करना कठिन था। उस समय कोई भूपाल वहाँ इस विषयमें कुछ भी न बोल सके--मौन रह गये। वे बार-बार केवल श्रीकृष्णके मुखकी ओर देखते रहे
Transliteration
tataḥ kecinmahīpālā nābruvaṃstatra kiṃcana | atītavākpathe kāle prekṣamāṇā janārdanam ||
Translation
Then some of the kings present spoke nothing at all. The moment had passed beyond the reach of speech; words could not adequately capture it. Silent and restrained, they repeatedly fixed their gaze upon Janārdana (Śrī Kṛṣṇa), as if seeking in his face the only fitting response to what had occurred.
