Devanagari script
तदहं तेजस: काल॑ तव मन्ये नराधिप । धार्तराष्टेषु लुब्धेषु सततं चापकारिषु,(द्रौपदी कहती है--) नरेश्वर! धृतराष्ट्रके पुत्र लोभी तथा सदा आपका अपकार करनेवाले हैं; अत: उनके प्रति आपके तेजके प्रयोगका यह अवसर आया है, ऐसा मेरा मत है
Transliteration
tad ahaṃ tejasā kālaṃ tava manye narādhipa | dhārtarāṣṭreṣu lubdheṣu satataṃ cāpakāriṣu ||
Translation
O lord of men, I judge that this is the moment for you to employ your royal tejas. The sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra are greedy and continually work to harm you; therefore, toward them, the time has come for decisive action.
