Babhruvāhana’s Lament and Appeal for Expiation (प्रायश्चित्त-याचना)
एनमस्योरसि त्वं च स्थापयस्व पितु: प्रभो । संजीवितं तदा पार्थ स त्वं द्रष्टासि पाण्डवम्
Enam asyorasi tvaṁ ca sthāpayasva pituḥ prabho | saṁjīvitaṁ tadā pārtha sa tvaṁ draṣṭāsi pāṇḍavam ||
प्रभो, एनं मणिं त्वं पितुरोरसि स्थापयस्व। ततः, हे पार्थ, पाण्डवं संजीवितं त्वं द्रष्टासि।
वैशमग्पायन उवाच
