Devanagari script
शौरे रथं वाहयतोअर्जुनस्य बल॑ महास्त्राणि च पाण्डवस्य । अहं विजानामि यथावदद्य परोक्षभूतं तव तत् तु शल्य,“मद्रराज! अर्जुनका रथ हाँकनेवाले श्रीकृष्णके बल और पाण्डुपुत्र अर्जुनके महान् दिव्यास्त्रोंकी इस समय मैं भलीभाँति जानता हूँ। तुम स्वयं उनसे अपरिचित हो
Translation
ข้าแต่มทรราช! ข้ารู้โดยถูกต้องในกาลนี้ถึงพละกำลังของศาวรี วาสุเทวะ (พระกฤษณะ) ผู้ขับรถศึกให้อรชุน และถึงมหาอาวุธทิพย์ทั้งหลายของอรชุน บุตรแห่งปาณฑุ; แต่ท่านเองกลับเป็นผู้รู้เพียงโดยอ้อม มิได้คุ้นเคยกับเขาเหล่านั้น
