Vidura’s Report and Portents

Devanagari script

पराजितो नकुलो भीमसेनो युधिष्ठिर: सहदेवार्जुनौ च दासीभूता त्वं हि वै याज्ञसेनि पराजितास्ते पतयो नैव सन्ति,यज्ञसेनकुमारी! नकुल हार गये, भीमसेन, युधिष्ठिर, सहदेव तथा अर्जुन भी पराजित होकर दास बन गये। अब तुम दासी हो चुकी हो। वे हारे हुए पाण्डव अब तुम्हारे पति नहीं हैं

Translation

“Nakula foi derrotado; Bhimasena, Yudhisthira, Sahadeva e Arjuna também foram vencidos e tornaram-se escravos. Tu, Yajñasenī, tornaste-te de fato uma escrava. Esses maridos teus, os Pândavas derrotados, já não são teus maridos, ó filha de Yajñasena!”
