Bhīmasena’s Discourse on Kāla, Resolve, and the Feasibility of Ajñātavāsa (भीमसेनस्य कालोपदेशः)
Devanagari script
यत् तु केवलचापल्याद् बलदर्पोत्थित: स्वयम् । आरब्धव्यमिदं कार्य मन्यसे शृणु तत्र मे,तुम स्वयं बलके घमण्डसे उन्मत्त हो जो केवल चपलतावश स्वयं इस युद्धरूपी कार्यको अभी आरम्भ करनेके योग्य मान रहे हो, उसके विषयमें मेरी बात सुनो
Transliteration
yat tu kevalacāpalyād baladarpotthitaḥ svayam | ārabdhavyam idaṁ kāryaṁ manyase śṛṇu tatra me ||
Translation
ਪਰ ਜੇ ਕੇਵਲ ਚੰਚਲਤਾ ਕਰਕੇ—ਤਾਕਤ ਦੇ ਅਹੰਕਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਮਨ ਉੱਠ ਖੜ੍ਹਾ ਹੋ ਕੇ—ਤੂੰ ਆਪ ਹੀ ਸਮਝਦਾ ਹੈਂ ਕਿ ਇਹ ਯੁੱਧ-ਕਾਰਜ ਹੁਣੇ ਹੀ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰ ਦੇਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ, ਤਾਂ ਇਸ ਬਾਰੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਗੱਲ ਸੁਣ।
