ब्रूहि कृष्ण यथाततच्त्व॑ त्वं हि प्राज्ञतम: सदा । भवन्नेत्रा रणे शत्रून् विजेष्यन्तीह पाण्डवा:,“श्रीकृष्ण! आप ही सदा सर्वश्रेष्ठ ज्ञानी हैं। अतः मुझे यथार्थ बात बताइये। आपको नायक बनाकर ही पाण्डव इस रणक्षेत्रमें शत्रुओंपर विजयी होंगे
brūhi kṛṣṇa yathātattvaṁ tvaṁ hi prājñatamaḥ sadā | bhavannetrā raṇe śatrūn vijeṣyantīha pāṇḍavāḥ ||
Sañjaya said: “Tell me, O Kṛṣṇa, the truth exactly as it is, for you are ever the wisest. With you as their guide and leader in this battle, the Pāṇḍavas will surely conquer the enemies here.”
