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
Dhṛtarāṣṭra berkata: “Wahai Sañjaya, tiada lagi dukacita yang lebih besar daripada ini bagiku. Sejak dahulu aku menyangka inilah ketetapan dewa—takdir yang tidak dapat dielakkan. Maka ceritakanlah seluruh peristiwa itu menurut kehendakmu.”
