Shloka 12
तत्राद्भुतमपश्याम तव पुत्रस्य पौरुषम् । अयोधयच्च यत् पार्थ जुगोप च पितामहम्,उस समय वहाँ हमने आपके पुत्र दुःशासनका अद्भुत पराक्रम देखा! एक तो वह अर्जुनके साथ युद्ध कर रहा था और दूसरे पितामह भीष्मकी रक्षामें भी तत्पर था
tatrādbhutam apaśyāma tava putrasya pauruṣam | ayodhayac ca yat pārtha jugopa ca pitāmaham ||
その場で我らは、そなたの子の驚くべき武勇を見た。彼はアルジュナと戦いながら、同時に大祖父ビーシュマを守るため怠りなく目を配っていた。
