Devanagari script

विसृजास्त्रं परं पार्थ राधेयो ग्रसते शरान्‌ । ततो ब्रह्मास्त्रमत्युग्रं सम्मन्द्रय समयोजयत्‌

Transliteration

visṛjāstraṃ paraṃ pārtha rādheyo grasate śarān | tato brahmāstram atyugraṃ sammandraya samayojayat

Translation

Sañjaya berkata: “Lepaskan senjata tertinggimu, wahai Pārtha! Rādheya sedang menelan habis anak-anak panah.” Lalu, setelah memanggilnya dengan mantera yang tepat, dia menggerakkan Brahmāstra yang amat dahsyat. Saat itu menegaskan bahawa dalam kegilaan perang, kemahiran dan pengendalian diri diuji: apabila peluru biasa menjadi sia-sia, para pejuang meningkat kepada senjata berkuasa pemusnah besar, lalu menajamkan ketegangan antara kemenangan dan batas-batas perang yang benar menurut dharma.
