द्रोणपर्व (अध्याय ११२) — कर्णभीमयोर्युद्धम्, दुर्योधनस्य रक्षणादेशः
Droṇa-parva 112: Karṇa–Bhīma Engagement and Duryodhana’s Protective Order
प्रजह्मयात् समरे प्राणांस्तस्माद् विन्दामि कश्मलम् | परंतु वार्ष्णेय! यह अर्जुन तो युद्धस्थलमें बहुसंख्यक सैनिकोंद्वारा पीड़ित होनेपर समरांगणमें अपने प्राणोंका परित्याग कर देगा। इसीलिये मैं शोक और दु:खमें डूबा जा रहा हूँ
prajahmyāt samare prāṇāṁs tasmād vindāmi kaśmalam | parantu vārṣṇeya! eṣa arjunaḥ tu yuddhasthale bahusaṅkhyakaiḥ sainikaiḥ pīḍyamānaḥ samara-aṅgaṇe svaprāṇān parityajet | tasmād ahaṁ śoka-duḥkhe nimagno bhavāmi ||
Yudhiṣṭhira said: “If he were to lose his life in battle, I would be plunged into despair. But, O Vārṣṇeya (Kṛṣṇa), this Arjuna—when harried on the battlefield by a great multitude of soldiers—will cast away his very life in the arena of war. Therefore I am sinking into grief and sorrow.”
