Shloka 52
Bhīma–Duryodhana Gadāyuddha Saṃkalpa
Resolve for the Mace Duel
Devanagari script
दुर्योधन उवाच एकैकेन च मां यूयामासीदत युधिष्छिर । न होको बहुभिन्याय्यो वीरो योधयितुं युधि,दुर्योधन बोला--युधिष्ठिर! तुमलोग एक-एक करके मेरे साथ युद्धके लिये आते जाओ। रणभूमिमें किसी एक वीरको बहुसंख्यक वीरोंके साथ युद्धके लिये विवश करना न्यायसंगत नहीं है
Translation
Duryodhana said: Yudhishthira, let each of you come against me one by one. It is not just on the battlefield to force a single warrior to fight against many.
