Chapter 47: Krauñca-vyūha Deployment and Conch-Signals
Kaurava–Pāṇḍava Readiness
विवक्षितं किमस्येति संशय: सुमहान भूत् । उभयो: सेनयो राजन् युधिष्िरकृते तदा,राजन! दोनों ही सेनाओंमें युधिष्ठिरके विषयमें महान् संशय उत्पन्न हो गया था। सब सोचते थे कि राजा युधिष्िर क्या कहना चाहते हैं
vivakṣitaṁ kim asyeti saṁśayaḥ sumahān bhūt | ubhayoḥ senayo rājan yudhiṣṭhirakṛte tadā ||
രാജാവേ! അപ്പോൾ ഇരുസേനകളിലും യുധിഷ്ഠിരനെക്കുറിച്ച് “അവൻ എന്താണ് പറയാൻ ഉദ്ദേശിക്കുന്നത്?” എന്ന മഹത്തായ സംശയം ഉയർന്നു.
