Devanagari script

अनुजज्ञे स कौरव्यमभिनन्द्य युधिष्ठटिरम्‌ । महात्मा धर्मराजके ऐसा कहनेपर राजर्षि धृतराष्ट्रने कुरुनन्दन युधिष्ठिरका अभिनन्दन करके उन्हें जानेकी आज्ञा दे दी

Transliteration

anujajñe sa kauravyam abhinandya yudhiṣṭhiram | mahātmā dharmarājasyaivaṃ kahanepara rājarṣi dhṛtarāṣṭreṇa kurunandana-yudhiṣṭhirasya abhinandanaṃ kṛtvā tasya gamanāya ājñā dattā |

Translation

クル族の末裔ユディシュティラを讃えたのち、王仙ドリタラーシュトラは彼に退出の許しを与えた。かくして大いなる心をもつダルマ王の言葉に応え、ドリタラーシュトラは彼を敬って正式に去ることを認めた――それは、命の終わりに臨んでもなお礼節と自制、そしてダルマの正しい遵守を映し出す行いであった。
