Devanagari script
स ता गिर: पुरस्ताद वै श्रुतपूर्वा पुन: पुन: । ग्लानानां दुःखितानां च नाभ्यजानत पाण्डव:
Translation
Et ces voix—ces mêmes paroles plaintives qu’il avait déjà entendues jadis—lui parvenaient de face, encore et encore, comme les gémissements d’êtres accablés de douleur ; pourtant le Pāṇḍava, fils de Pāṇḍu, ne parvint pas à les reconnaître.
