Kaurava–Pāṇḍava Readiness
Devanagari script
शस्त्र चाहं रणे जहां श्रुत्वा तु महदप्रियम् । श्रद्धेयवाक्यात् पुरुषादेतत् सत्यं ब्रवीमि ते,यदि मैं किसी विश्वसनीय पुरुषसे युद्ध-भूमिमें कोई अत्यन्त अप्रिय समाचार सुन लूँ तो हथियार नीचे डाल दूँगा। यह मैं तुमसे सच्ची बात कह रहा हूँ
Transliteration
śastraṃ cāhaṃ raṇe jahyāṃ śrutvā tu mahad apriyam | śraddheyavākyāt puruṣād etat satyaṃ bravīmi te ||
Translation
ଯଦି ମୁଁ ଯୁଦ୍ଧଭୂମିରେ କୌଣସି ବିଶ୍ୱସନୀୟ ପୁରୁଷଙ୍କ ଠାରୁ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଅପ୍ରିୟ ସମ୍ବାଦ ଶୁଣିବି, ତେବେ ମୁଁ ଅସ୍ତ୍ର ତ୍ୟାଗ କରିଦେବି। ଏହି କଥା ମୁଁ ତୁମକୁ ସତ୍ୟ କହୁଛି।
