Shloka 37
न तु तावदहं मन्ये प्राप्तकालं तवानघ । समागमं महाबाहो सूतपुत्रेण संयुगे,निष्पाप महाबाहु अर्जुन! इस समय रणक्षेत्रमें सूतपुत्रके साथ तुम्हारा युद्ध करना मैं उचित नहीं मानता
na tu tāvad ahaṃ manye prāptakālaṃ tavānagha | samāgamaṃ mahābāho sūtaputreṇa saṃyuge ||
ହେ ଅନଘ! ଏପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ତୁମ ପାଇଁ ସମୟ ଆସିଛି ବୋଲି ମୁଁ ଭାବୁନାହିଁ। ହେ ମହାବାହୋ! ଏହି ମୁହୂର୍ତ୍ତରେ ସଂଗ୍ରାମରେ ସୂତପୁତ୍ର ସହ ତୁମର ଯୁଦ୍ଧକୁ ମୁଁ ଯଥୋଚିତ ମନେ କରୁନାହିଁ।
