Devanagari script

सैन्धवं प्राप्स्ते वीर: सव्यसाची धनंजय: । 'पाण्डवोंके प्रधान वीर अर्जुन जैसे भी किसी तरह सिंधुराजको नहीं मार सकेंगे, वैसा प्रयत्न करूँगा। जबतक मैं युद्धमें तत्पर होकर पैने बाण छोड़ता रहूँगा, तबतक सव्यसाची वीर धनंजय सिंधुराजको नहीं पा सकेंगे

Transliteration

saindhavaṁ prāpsyate vīraḥ savyasācī dhanañjayaḥ |

Translation

Sañjaya said: “The heroic Dhanañjaya Arjuna, famed as Savyasācī, will reach (and confront) the king of Sindhu. Yet I shall strive so that the foremost Pāṇḍava hero, Arjuna, may not by any means succeed in slaying the Sindhu king. So long as I remain intent on battle and keep releasing sharp arrows, so long will the valiant Savyasācī Dhanañjaya be unable to get at the Sindhu king.”
