शरै: सुनिशितै: पार्थ यथा वृत्र पुरंदर: । निर्बिभेद महाकायो विव्यथे नैव चार्जुन:
śaraiḥ suniśitaiḥ pārtha yathā vṛtra-puraṃdaraḥ | nirbibheda mahākāyo vivyathe naiva cārjunaḥ ||
ສັນຊະຍະກ່າວວ່າ: «ດ້ວຍລູກສອນທີ່ຄົມກຣິບ, ນັກຮົບຜູ້ມີພະລັງນັ້ນໄດ້ທະລຸອາຈຸນ, ດັ່ງພຣະອິນທຣະ ຜູ້ປາບວຣິຕຣະ ຂັດຂວາງແລະກົດຂີ່ວຣິຕຣະ. ແມ່ນແຕ່ຖືກທະລຸແລະຖືກກັດຂາດດ້ວຍລູກສອນເຫຼົ່ານັ້ນ, ອາຈຸນກໍບໍ່ໄດ້ຫວັ່ນໄຫວ ຫຼືທຸກທ້ອນແມ່ນແຕ່ນ້ອຍ—ສະແດງຄວາມໝັ້ນຄົງກາງຄວາມຮຸນແຮງແຫ່ງສົງຄາມ.»
