Devanagari script
अपि वज्रधर: साक्षात् किमुतान्ये धनुर्भुतः । त्रयाणामपि लोकानां समर्थ इति मे मति:,'साक्षात् वज्रधारी इन्द्र भी युद्धमें उनका सामना नहीं कर सकते; फिर दूसरे धनुर्धरोंकी बात ही क्या है? मेरा तो ऐसा विश्वास है कि अर्जुन तीनों लोकोंका सामना करनेमें समर्थ हैं!
Translation
“Even Indra himself, wielder of the vajra, could not face him in war—how much less other bowmen? It is my conviction that Arjuna is able to confront the three worlds.”
