Shloka 11
प्रकाशं वाप्रकाशं वा दिवा वा यदि वा निशि | मनसा चिन्तितमपि सर्व वेत्स्यति संजय:,“कोई भी बात प्रकट हो या अप्रकट, दिनमें हो या रातमें अथवा वह मनमें ही क्यों न सोची गयी हो, संजय सब कुछ जान लेगा
prakāśaṃ vāprakāśaṃ vā divā vā yadi vā niśi | manasā cintitam api sarvaṃ vetsyati sañjayaḥ |
गोष्ट उघड असो वा गुप्त, दिवस असो वा रात्र—अगदी मनात विचारलेलीसुद्धा—संजय सर्व काही जाणेल.
