अनुक्रमणिकाध्यायः (Anukramaṇikā Adhyāya) — Invocation, Narrator Frame, and Textual Scope
Devanagari script
यदाश्रौष॑ कर्णघटोत्कचाभ्यां युद्धे मुक्तां सूतपुत्रेण शक्तिम् । यया वध्य: समरे सव्यसाची तदा नाशंसे विजयाय संजय,जब मैंने सुना कि कर्ण और घटोत्कचके युद्धमें कर्णने वह शक्ति घटोत्कचपर चला दी, जिससे रणांगणमें अर्जुनका वध किया जा सकता था। संजय! तब मैंने विजयकी आशा छोड़ दी
Translation
సంజయా! కర్ణుడు–ఘటోత్కచుడు యుద్ధంలో, రథసారథి కుమారుడైన కర్ణుడు ఆ శక్తినే ఘటోత్కచునిపై ప్రయోగించాడు—దానితో సమరంలో సవ్యసాచి అర్జునుడిని వధించవచ్చు—అని విన్న క్షణమే, నేను విజయాశను విడిచిపెట్టాను.
