Adhyāya 125: Raṅga-pradarśana — Arjuna’s Entry and Astric Demonstration (रङ्गप्रदर्शनम्)

Devanagari script

कथं दीनस्य सततं त्वामासाद्य रहोगताम्‌ | त॑ विचिन्तयत:ः शापं प्रहर्ष. समजायत,“वे तो उस शापका चिन्तन करते हुए सदा दीन और उदास बने रहते थे, फिर तुझको एकान्तमें पाकर उनके मनमें कामजनित हर्ष कैसे उत्पन्न हुआ?

Transliteration

kathaṁ dīnasya satataṁ tvām āsādya rahogatām | taṁ vicintayataḥ śāpaṁ praharṣaḥ samajāyata |

Translation

Wika ni Kuntī: “Siya’y laging lugmok at malumbay, sapagkat walang tigil na iniisip ang sumpang iyon. Kung gayon, nang matagpuan ka niya na nag-iisa sa isang lihim na pook, paano sumiklab sa kanyang loob ang galak na mula sa pagnanasa?”
