Adhyāya 111 (Book 6): Daśama-dina-saṃgrāma—Bhīṣma’s Counsel to Yudhiṣṭhira and the Śikhaṇḍin-Led Advance
Devanagari script
काममभ्यस वा मा वा न त्वां योत्स्ये कथंचन । यैव हि त्वं कृता धात्रा सैव हि त्वं शिखण्डिनी,“अरे, तू इच्छानुसार प्रहार कर या न कर। मैं तेरे साथ किसी तरह युद्ध नहीं करूँगा। विधाताने जिस रूपमें तुझे उत्पन्न किया था, तू वही शिखण्डिनी है”

Translation
“ତୁମେ ଇଚ୍ଛା କଲେ ପ୍ରହାର କର, ନ କଲେ ନ କର; ମୁଁ କୌଣସି ପ୍ରକାରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ତୁମ ସହ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ କରିବି ନାହିଁ। ବିଧାତା ଯେ ରୂପରେ ତୁମକୁ ଗଢ଼ିଥିଲେ, ତୁମେ ସେଇ—ଶିଖଣ୍ଡିନୀ—ହିଁ।”
