Arjuna and Ulūpī: Explanation of Śānti and the Maṇipūra Resolution
पर्याप्त: क्षत्रधर्मो<यं दर्शित: पुत्र गम्यताम् । बह्नेतत् समरे कर्म तव बालस्य पार्थिव
Vaiśampāyana uvāca: paryāptaḥ kṣatradharmo ’yaṃ darśitaḥ putra gamyatām | bahv etat samare karma tava bālasya pārthiva ||
Vaiśampāyana dit : « Cela suffit — tu as pleinement montré le devoir d’un kṣatriya, mon fils. À présent, retourne chez toi. Ô roi, tu n’es encore qu’un enfant ; la vaillance que tu as déployée sur ce champ de bataille te suffit amplement. »
