Nala-Upākhyāna Begins

Devanagari script

सर्वथा न हि मे पुत्रा: सहामात्या: ससौबला: । क्रुद्धे पार्थे च भीमे च वासुदेवे च सात्वते,जब कुन्तीपुत्र अर्जुन, भीमसेन और यदुकुलतिलक वासुदेव श्रीकृष्ण क्रोधमें भरे हुए हैं, तब मुझे यह विश्वास कर लेना चाहिये कि शकुनि तथा अन्य मन्त्रियोंसहित मेरे सभी पुत्र सर्वधा जीवित नहीं रह सकते

Transliteration

sarvathā na hi me putrāḥ sahāmātyāḥ sasaubalāḥ | kruddhe pārthe ca bhīme ca vāsudeve ca sātvate ||

Translation

Sama sekali aku tak dapat percaya bahwa putra-putraku—bersama Śakuni dan para menteri lainnya—akan tetap hidup, bila Pārtha (Arjuna), Bhīma, dan Vāsudeva dari garis Sātvata (Kṛṣṇa) menyala oleh amarah.
