Translation

ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ଏପରି କୁହାଯାଉଥିବାବେଳେ ଭରତଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ବିଜୟ (ଅର୍ଜୁନ) ପ୍ରତିଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ—ରାଜନ! ମୁଁ ସତ୍ୟର ଶପଥ କରୁଛି, ଆପଣଙ୍କ କୃପାପ୍ରସାଦର ମଧ୍ୟ; ନରଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ଭୀମର ଶପଥ, ଏବଂ ଯମଙ୍କ ଯୁଗଳ ପୁତ୍ର (ନକୁଳ-ସହଦେବ)ଙ୍କ ଶପଥ, ହେ ମହୀପତି। ଧନୁକୁ ସ୍ପର୍ଶ କରି ସତ୍ୟ କହୁଛି—ଆଜି ସମରରେ ମୁଁ କର୍ଣ୍ଣକୁ ବଧ କରିବି, ନଚେତ୍ ନିଜେ ହତ ହୋଇ ପୃଥିବୀରେ ପଡ଼ିବି।
