भीष्मपतनविषये धृतराष्ट्रस्य प्रश्नाः | Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Questions on Bhīṣma’s Fall
Devanagari script
नातः कार्यतमं मन्ये रणे भीष्मस्य रक्षणात् । हन्याद् गुप्तो हासौ पार्थान् सोमकांश्व ससृंजयान्,“इस समय युद्धमें भीष्मजीकी रक्षासे बढ़कर दूसरा कोई कार्य मैं आवश्यक नहीं समझता हूँ; क्योंकि वे सुरक्षित रहें तो कुन्तीके पुत्रों, सोमकवंशियों तथा सूंजयोंको भी मार सकते हैं
Translation
ఈ సమయంలో యుద్ధంలో భీష్మ పితామహుని రక్షించడంకన్నా ముఖ్యమైన పని మరొకటి లేదని నేను భావిస్తున్నాను; ఎందుకంటే ఆయన సురక్షితుడై ఉంటే కుంతీపుత్రులను, సోమకులను, సృంజయులను కూడా సంహరించగలరు।
