Janmaveśma-praveśa and Uttarā’s Śaraṇāgati

Entry into the Birth-Chamber and Uttarā’s Appeal

संजीवयैन दुर्धर्ष मृतं त्वमभिमन्युजम्‌ । सदृशाक्षसुतं वीर सस्य॑ वर्षन्निवाम्बुद:

saṃjīvayaina durdharṣa mṛtaṃ tvam abhimanyujam | sadṛśākṣasutaṃ vīra sasyaṃ varṣann ivāmbudaḥ ||

வைசம்பாயனர் கூறினார்— அஜேய வீரனே, துர்தர்ஷனே! தந்தையைப் போன்ற கண்களையுடைய அபிமன்யுவின் இந்த இறந்த மகனை நீ உயிர்ப்பிக்க வேண்டும். மழை பொழியும் மேகம் வறண்ட பயிரையும் பசுமையாக்குவது போல, நீயும் இவனை மீண்டும் உயிர்ப்பி.
