Shloka 8
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Lament for Karṇa and Renunciation-Oriented Self-Assessment (शोक-प्रलापः / त्याग-प्रवृत्तिः)
Devanagari script
त्रैलोक्यस्यापि राज्येन नास्मान् वक्ित् प्रहर्षयेत् । बान्धवान् निहतान् दृष्टवा पृथिव्यां विजयैषिण:,जब हमने पृथ्वीपर विजयकी इच्छा रखनेवाले अपने बन्धु-बान्धवोंको मारा गया देख लिया, तब हमें इस समय तीनों लोकोंका राज्य देकर भी कोई प्रसन्न नहीं कर सकता
Translation
Not even the sovereignty of the three worlds could gladden us now. For once we have seen our own kinsmen slain by those who sought victory upon the earth, no gift can bring joy to our hearts.
