Devanagari script
तत् कृत्यमभिनिर्वर्त्य प्रकृति: शत्रुतां गता । “तुम जातिसे ही मेरे शत्रु हो, किंतु विशेष प्रयोजनसे मित्र बन गये थे। वह प्रयोजन सिद्ध कर लेनेके पश्चात् तुम्हारी प्रकृति फिर सहज शत्रुभावको प्राप्त हो गयी ।।
Translation
Bhīṣma dit : «Par la naissance, tu es mon ennemi ; mais pour un dessein particulier tu es devenu ami. Une fois ce dessein accompli, ta nature est retournée à l’hostilité qui lui est propre.»
