कर्णनिधनवृत्तान्तनिवेदनम् | Reporting Karṇa’s Fall to Yudhiṣṭhira
Devanagari script
अनिन्चयज्ञो हि नर: कार्याकार्यविनिश्चये । अवशो मुहाते पार्थ यथा त्वं मूढ एव तु,पार्थ! उस निर्णयको न जाननेवाला मनुष्य कर्तव्य और अकर्तव्यके निश्चयमें तुम्हारे ही समान असमर्थ, विवेकशून्य एवं मोहित हो जाता है
Transliteration
aniniścayajño hi naraḥ kāryākāryaviniścaye | avaśo muhyate pārtha yathā tvaṃ mūḍha eva tu ||
Translation
Ang taong salat sa kakayahang umunawa nang may tiyak na pasya ay nagiging walang magawa at nalulunod sa pagkalito kapag kailangang pagpasiyahan ang dapat gawin at ang hindi dapat gawin. O Pārtha, nahuhulog siya sa pagkalito—gaya mo ring ngayo’y nalilito.
