Saṃjaya’s Warning to Dhṛtarāṣṭra: Accountability, Alliance-Shift, and the Pāṇḍava Strategic Edge
Devanagari script
इदं तु नाभिजानामि तव धीरस्य नित्यश: । यत् पुत्रवशमागच्छेस्तत्त्वज्ञ: सव्यसाचिन:,परंतु सदासे बुद्धिमान् माने जानेवाले आपके सम्बन्धमें मैं यह नहीं समझ पाता हूँ कि आप स्व्यसाची अर्जुनके बल-पराक्रमको अच्छी तरह जानते हुए भी क्यों अपने पुत्रोंके अधीन हो रहे हैं?
Translation
ਪਰੰਤੂ ਸਦਾ ਧੀਰ ਤੇ ਬੁੱਧਿਮਾਨ ਮੰਨੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਬਾਰੇ ਮੈਂ ਇਹ ਨਹੀਂ ਸਮਝ ਸਕਦਾ— ਸਵ੍ਯਸਾਚੀ ਅਰਜੁਨ ਦੇ ਬਲ-ਪਰਾਕ੍ਰਮ ਨੂੰ ਚੰਗੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਜਾਣਦਿਆਂ ਵੀ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਪੁੱਤਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਵਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਿਉਂ ਆ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹੋ?
