Devanagari script
जरासंध उवाच नाजितान् वै नरपतीनहमाददि कांश्वन । अजित: पर्यवस्थाता को<त्र यो न मया जित:,जरासंधने कहा--श्रीकृष्ण! मैं युद्धमें जीते बिना किन्हीं राजाओंको कैद करके यहाँ नहीं लाता हूँ। यहाँ कौन ऐसा शत्रु राजा है, जो दूसरोंसे अजेय होनेपर भी मेरेद्वारा जीत न लिया गया हो?
Translation
ชราสันธะกล่าวว่า “โอ้ ศรีกฤษณะ! เรามิได้นำกษัตริย์ผู้ใดมาที่นี่ในฐานะเชลย หากมิได้พิชิตเขาในศึกก่อน แล้วที่นี่จะมีกษัตริย์ศัตรูองค์ใดเล่า ที่แม้ผู้อื่นจะปราบมิได้ แต่เรายังมิได้พิชิต?”
