Shloka 2
Virāṭa-parva Adhyāya 21 — Kīcaka’s clandestine approach and Bhīma’s covert intervention (नर्तनागारे कीचकवध-प्रसङ्गः)
Devanagari script
सभायां तु विराटस्य करोमि कदनं महत् | तत्र मे कारणं भाति कौन्तेयो यत् प्रतीक्षते,मैं तो उसी दिन विराटकी सभामें ही भारी संहार मचा देता, किंतु ऐसा न करनेमें कारण बन गये कुन्तीनन्दन महाराज युधिष्ठिर। वे प्रकट हो जानेका भय सूचित करते हुए मेरी ओर देखने लगे
Translation
Aku sebenarnya akan membuat pembantaian besar di balairung Virāṭ pada hari itu juga; namun alasannya aku menahan diri ialah karena Kuntīputra Yudhiṣṭhira menatapku seakan memberi isyarat agar menunggu.
