अद्य राज्ये करिष्यामि धृतराष्ट्रं जनेश्वरम्‌ “मैं आज ही पुत्र, पौत्र, मन्‍्त्री और सेवकोंसहित राजा धृतराष्ट्रको राज्यकी ओरसे निराश कर दूँगा

Transliteration

sañjaya uvāca | adya rājye kariṣyāmi dhṛtarāṣṭraṃ janeśvaram |

Translation

Sañjaya said: “Today, in the matter of the kingdom, I shall render King Dhṛtarāṣṭra—lord of men—bereft of hope.” (The utterance conveys a decisive intent to strip the blind monarch of confidence and effective sovereignty, implying political and moral collapse amid the war’s crisis.)
