Decision on Command and the Pandavas’ March to Kurukshetra
भारत! वहाँ मैंने बहुत-से अद्भुत, भयंकर, निछ्ठर एवं अमानुषिक कर्मोका प्रदर्शन किया
bhārata! tatra mayā bahūny adbhutāni bhayaṅkarāṇi niṣṭhurāṇy amānuṣikāṇi karmāṇi pradarśitāni
ഹേ ഭാരത! അവിടെ ഞാൻ അനേകം അത്ഭുതകരവും ഭയാനകവും, നിഷ്ഠുരവും മനുഷ്യപരിധിയെ അതിക്രമിക്കുന്നതുമായ കർമ്മങ്ങൾ പ്രകടിപ്പിച്ചു.
