Shloka 16
मुहाते मे मनस्तात गात्रस्वेदश्व॒ जायते । वेपथुश्न शरीरे मे रोमहर्षश्व सारथे,राजन! यह सुनकर धृष्टद्युम्नने धीरेसे कहा--'सारथे! मेरे मनपर मोह छा रहा है और शरीरसे पसीना छूटने लगा है। मेरे सारे अंग काँप रहे हैं और रोमांच हो आया है
sañjaya uvāca | muhāte me manas tāta gātrasvedaś ca jāyate | vepathuś ca śarīre me romaharṣaś ca sārathi ||
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—“ତାତ! ମୋ ମନ ମୋହରେ ପଡ଼ୁଛି, ଅଙ୍ଗେ ଅଙ୍ଗେ ଘାମ ହେଉଛି। ମୋ ଶରୀର କମ୍ପିତ ହେଉଛି, ହେ ସାରଥି, ରୋମାଞ୍ଚ ମଧ୍ୟ ହେଉଛି।”
