नैनं शस्त्राणि छेत्स्यन्ति नैनं बाधिष्यते श्रम: । गावल्गणिरयं जीवन युद्धादस्माद्‌ विमोक्ष्यते,“इसे कोई हथियार नहीं काट सकता। इसे परिश्रम या थकावटकी बाधा भी नहीं होगी। गवल्गणका पुत्र यह संजय इस युद्धसे जीवित बच जायगा

Transliteration

nainaṁ śastrāṇi chetsyanti nainaṁ bādhiṣyate śramaḥ | gāvalgaṇir ayaṁ jīvan yuddhād asmād vimokṣyate ||

Translation

He will not be cut down by weapons, nor will exhaustion or toil overpower him. This Sañjaya, the son of Gāvalgaṇa, will be released alive from this war—preserved amid the violence by a higher protection that overrides ordinary mortal vulnerability.
