Janmaveśma-praveśa and Uttarā’s Śaraṇāgati
Entry into the Birth-Chamber and Uttarā’s Appeal
अकाम त्वां करिष्यामि ब्रह्मुबन्धो नराधम । अहं संजीवयिष्यामि किरीटितनयात्मजम्,“ब्रह्मबन्धो! नराधम! मैं तेरी इच्छा पूर्ण नहीं होने दूँगा। अर्जुनके पौत्रको अपने प्रभावसे जीवित कर दूँगा
akāma tvāṁ kariṣyāmi brahmabandho narādhama | ahaṁ saṁjīvayiṣyāmi kirīṭitanayātmajam ||
Вайшампаяна сказал: «О брахмабандху, о низший из людей! Я не позволю исполниться твоему желанию. Силой собственной я возвращу к жизни дитя — внука сына Киритина (Арджуны).»
