Devanagari script
नायं यापयितुं कालो विद्यते माधव क्वचित्,“माधव! यह समयको व्यर्थ बितानेका अवसर नहीं है।” अर्जुनके ऐसा कहनेपर शत्रुवीरोंका विनाश करनेवाले केशवने वायुके समान वेगशाली उन श्वेत घोड़ोंको आगे बढ़ाया
Transliteration
nāyaṃ yāpayituṃ kālo vidyate mādhava kvacit
Translation
Sañjaya said: “O Mādhava, this is no time to be squandered—there is no occasion here for delay.” When Arjuna spoke thus, Keśava, the destroyer of hostile heroes, urged forward those white horses, swift as the wind, setting the chariot in motion toward the work of battle.
