Devanagari script

स दैवं बलवन्मत्वा भवितव्यं च पार्थिव: । संग्रामे निश्चयं कृत्वा पुनर्युद्धाय निर्यया,उस राजा दुर्योधनने दैव और भवितव्यताको प्रबल मानकर संग्राम जारी रखनेका ही दृढ़ निश्चय करके पुनः युद्धके लिये प्रस्थान किया

Transliteration

sa daivaṁ balavan matvā bhavitavyaṁ ca pārthivaḥ | saṅgrāme niścayaṁ kṛtvā punar yuddhāya niryayau ||

Translation

Tenant pour irrésistibles le destin (daiva) et l’inévitable (bhavitavya), le roi prit, au cœur de la bataille, une résolution inébranlable et repartit combattre—choisissant de poursuivre la guerre malgré le funeste prix moral et humain qu’implique un tel fatalisme.
