एष चास्त्रप्रतीघातं वासुदेव: प्रयुक्तवान् अन्यथा विहित: संख्ये वध: शत्रोर्जनाधिप,'जनेश्वर! श्रीकृष्णने इस अस्त्रके निवारणका उपाय बता दिया है और उसका प्रयोग किया है; अन्यथा आज युद्धमें सम्पूर्ण शत्रुओंका वध हो ही गया होता
eṣa cāstrapratīghātaṃ vāsudevaḥ prayuktavān; anyathā vihitaḥ saṅkhye vadhaḥ śatror janādhipa, janeśvara!
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ହେ ଜନାଧିପ! ବାସୁଦେବ ଶ୍ରୀକୃଷ୍ଣ ଏହି ଅସ୍ତ୍ରର ପ୍ରତିଘାତ ଉପାୟ ପ୍ରୟୋଗ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ନହେଲେ ଆଜିର ଯୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଶତ୍ରୁମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଯେ ବଧ ବିଧିତ ଥିଲା, ସେ ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ଭାବେ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହୋଇଯାଇଥାନ୍ତା।
