Chapter 59: Baladeva’s Censure, Keśava’s Restraint, and Yudhiṣṭhira’s Moral Accounting
Devanagari script
तान् वयं प्रतिनृत्याम: पुनर्गौरिति गौरिति । जिन मूर्खोने पहले हमें “बैल-बैल' कहकर नृत्य किया था, आज उन्हें “बैल-बैल' कहकर उस अपमानका बदला लेते हुए हम भी प्रसन्नतासे नाच रहे हैं
Transliteration
tān vayaṁ pratinṛtyāmaḥ punar gaur iti gaur iti |
Translation
Sanjaya said: “Now we are dancing back at them, again and again crying, ‘Ox! Ox!’—repaying the insult, for those foolish men had earlier mocked us by dancing and shouting ‘Ox! Ox!’; today, taking revenge for that humiliation, we too dance with satisfaction.”
