Devanagari script

तमनार्य सदा क्ुद्धं पुरुष कामचारिणम्‌ । आर्या युद्धे मतिं कृत्वा जहि पार्थाविचारयन्‌,पार्थ! तुम युद्धमें श्रेष्ठ बुद्धिका आश्रय ले बिना किसी सोच-विचारके, सदा क्रोधमें भरे रहनेवाले इस स्वेच्छाचारी दुष्ट पुरुषको मार डालो

Transliteration

tam anāryaṁ sadā kruddhaṁ puruṣaṁ kāmacāriṇam | āryā yuddhe matiṁ kṛtvā jahi pārthāvicārayan, pārtha! |

Translation

ବାୟୁ କହିଲେ—ହେ ପାର୍ଥ! ଏହି ଅନାର୍ୟ, ସଦା କ୍ରୋଧରେ ଦଗ୍ଧ, ସ୍ୱେଚ୍ଛାଚାରୀ ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ପୁରୁଷକୁ ବଧ କର। ଯୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ଧର୍ମସଙ୍କଳ୍ପ ମନେ ଦୃଢ଼ କରି, ନିର୍ବିକଳ୍ପରେ ତାହାକୁ ପ୍ରହାର କର।
