Shloka 27
Devanagari script
कौन्तेय यदि प्रश्नांस्तान् मयोक्तान् प्रतिपत्स्यसे । ततः पास्यसि पानीयं हरिष्यसि च भारत,दौड़ते समय उन्हें आकाशकी ओरसे आती हुई वाणी सुनायी दी--“कुन्तीनन्दन! क्यों पानीके निकट जा रहे हो? तुम जबरदस्ती यह जल नहीं पी सकते। भारत! यदि मेरे उन प्रश्नोंका उत्तर दे सको, तो यहाँका पानी पीओ और साथ ले भी जाओ'
