Shloka 96

Devanagari script

हत्वा सम्भक्षयिष्यामि सर्वैरनुचरै: सह । “श्रीकृष्ण जिनके अगुआ हैं, उन सभी कुन्तीपुत्रोंकोी मारकर आज मैं समस्त अनुचरोंके साथ उन्हें खा जाऊँगा

Transliteration

hatvā sambhakṣayiṣyāmi sarvair anucaraiḥ saha |

Translation

Sañjaya said: “Having slain them, I shall devour them together with all my attendants.” The utterance conveys a collapse of ethical restraint in the heat of war—speech that moves beyond victory or duty into vengeful, dehumanizing rage, marking the moral corrosion that the Kurukṣetra conflict can unleash.
