आत्मदोष-उपदेशः तथा भीम-धृष्टद्युम्नयोः संयोगः
Self-Causation Counsel and the Bhīma–Dhṛṣṭadyumna Convergence
पूर्वाह्नि तन्महारीद्रं राज्ञां युद्धमवर्तत । कुरूणां पाण्डवानां च मुख्यशूरविनाशनम्,पूर्वाह्नकालमें कौरव-पाण्डव नरेशोंका वह महा-भयंकर युद्ध आरम्भ हुआ, जो बड़े- बड़े शूरवीरोंका विनाश करनेवाला था
pūrvāhṇi tan-mahārīdraṃ rājñāṃ yuddham avartata | kurūṇāṃ pāṇḍavānāṃ ca mukhya-śūra-vināśanam ||
サンジャヤは言った。午前、王たちのあのこの上なく恐るべき戦いが始まった——クル族とパーンダヴァ族との間の戦であり、多くの第一級の英雄を滅ぼす運命にある衝突であった。語りは、ひとたび戦争が解き放たれると、それが人の中の最良をも呑み込み、王のダルマとしての務めを取り返しのつかぬ喪失の野へと変えてしまうことを示している。
