Devanagari script
स युद्धकुशल: पार्थो बाहुवीर्येण चान्वित: । अभिनत् कुञ्जरानीकमचिरेणैव मारिष,आदरणीय नरेश! कुन्तीकुमार भीमसेन युद्धमें कुशल तथा बाहुबलसे सम्पन्न हैं। उन्होंने थोड़ी ही देरमें हाथियोंकी उस सेनाको विदीर्ण कर डाला
Transliteration
sa yuddha-kuśalaḥ pārtho bāhu-vīryeṇa cānvitaḥ | abhinat kuñjarānīkam acireṇaiva māriṣa ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: The Pārtha, skilled in the arts of war and endowed with the strength and valor of his arms, swiftly shattered the elephant-corps. In this grim field of dharma-contending battle, prowess and discipline decide the immediate tide, even as the deeper moral weight of violence continues to loom over all sides.
