Shloka 26
Droṇanidhana-anantaraṃ sainya-viṣādaḥ and Karṇa-pravṛttiḥ
After Droṇa’s fall: army despondency and Karṇa’s advance
Devanagari script
धघतयाट्र उवाच न व्यथाभ्यधिका काचिद् विद्यते मम संजय । दिष्टमेतत् पुरा मन््ये कथयस्व यथेच्छकम्,धृतराष्ट्र बोले--संजय! मुझे इससे अधिक कोई व्यथा नहीं होगी, मैं पहलेसे ही ऐसा मानता हूँ कि यह अवश्यम्भावी दैवका विधान है; अतः तुम इच्छानुसार सारा वृत्तान्त कहो
Translation
ധൃതരാഷ്ട്രൻ പറഞ്ഞു—സഞ്ജയാ! ഇതിലധികം വ്യഥ എനിക്കില്ല. ഇത് ദൈവത്തിന്റെ അനിവാര്യവിധിയെന്നു ഞാൻ മുമ്പേ കരുതിയതാണ്; അതുകൊണ്ട് നീ ഇഷ്ടമുള്ളപോലെ മുഴുവൻ വൃത്താന്തവും പറയുക.
