यदि नाहं परित्याज्यो भवद्धयां पुरुषर्षभौ | युध्यतामनुरूपेण विक्रमेण सुविक्रमौ,“अत्यन्त पराक्रमी पुरुषप्रवर वीरो! यदि आप मुझे त्याग देना न चाहते हों तो अपने अनुरूप पराक्रम प्रकट करते हुए युद्ध कीजिये'
sañjaya uvāca | yadi nāhaṃ parityājyo bhavadbhyāṃ puruṣarṣabhau | yudhyatām anurūpeṇa vikrameṇa suvikramau |
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ— ହେ ପୁରୁଷଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠମାନେ, ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ପରାକ୍ରମୀ ବୀରମାନେ! ଯଦି ତୁମେ ମୋତେ ପରିତ୍ୟାଗ କରିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁନାହ, ତେବେ ତୁମ ଅନୁରୂପ ପରାକ୍ରମ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରି, ନିଜର ଯଥୋଚିତ ଓ ଶୋଭନ ବିକ୍ରମରେ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ କର।
संजय उवाच
The verse emphasizes kṣatriya-duty and ethical consistency: if one claims loyalty and protection, one must act in a manner worthy of that claim—showing appropriate courage and effort rather than abandoning an ally.
Sanjaya reports an urgent exhortation addressed to two mighty warriors: if they do not intend to forsake him, they should engage in battle at once and demonstrate the level of prowess expected of such eminent heroes.
