आचार्यो न्यासित: शस्त्र कि तन्न विदितं मया । “दुर्मते! अश्वत्थामाके सदृश नामवाले एक हाथीको मारकर तुमलोगोंने द्रोणाचार्यके हाथसे शस्त्र नीचे डलवा दिया था, क्या वह मुझे ज्ञात नहीं है?
Transliteration
ācāryo nyāsitaḥ śastraṃ ki tan na viditaṃ mayā | durmate aśvatthāmāke sadṛśa-nāmavāle eka-hastinaṃ mārayan yūyaṃ droṇācāryasya hastāt śastraṃ nyāsayāmāsaḥ, ki tan na jñātaṃ mayā ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: “The Teacher laid down his weapon—do you think I do not know how that happened? O evil-minded ones, by killing an elephant that bore the same name ‘Aśvatthāmā,’ you made Droṇācārya let his weapon fall from his hand. Is that not known to me?”
