Shloka 15
Śārṅgaka-stuti to Agni during the Khāṇḍava Conflagration (शार्ङ्गक-स्तुतिः / अग्नि-स्तुतिः)
अजुन उवाच उत्तमास्त्राणि मे सन्ति दिव्यानि च बहूनि च । यैरहं शक्नुयां योद्धुमपि वज्धरान् बहून्
arjuna uvāca uttamāstrāṇi me santi divyāni ca bahūni ca | yair ahaṁ śaknuyāṁ yoddhum api vajradharān bahūn |
ارجن نے کہا—اے محترم! میرے پاس بہت سے بہترین اور الٰہی ہتھیار ہیں؛ ان کے ذریعے میں ایک نہیں بلکہ بہت سے وجر دھاریوں کے مقابل بھی جنگ کر سکتا ہوں۔
