तिष्ठ दुर्योधनाद्य त्वं न कार्य: सम्भ्रमस्त्वया । सहैभि भ्रत्रभिवीरि: पार्थिवैश्रेन्द्रविक्रमै:,“दुर्योधन! आज तुम चुपचाप खड़े रहो। तुम्हें इन्द्रके समान पराक्रमी इन राजाओं तथा अपने वीर भाइयोंके साथ तनिक भी घबराना नहीं चाहिये
tiṣṭha duryodhanādya tvaṁ na kāryaḥ sambhramas tvayā | sahaibhi bhrātṛbhir vīraiḥ pārthivaiś cendra-vikramaiḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。「ドゥルヨーダナよ、今日は堅く立ち、心を定めよ。動揺してはならぬ。汝には勇猛なる兄弟たちがあり、またインドラに比すべき武威の諸王がいる。恐れる理由などない。」
