Shloka 26
Devanagari script
उत्साहश्व कृतो नित्यं मया दिष्ट्या युयुत्सता । दिष्ट्या चास्मिन् हतो युद्धे निहतज्ञातिबान्धव:,'सौभाग्यवश मैंने रणभूमिमें जूझनेकी इच्छा रखकर सदा ही उत्साह दिखाया है और भाई-बन्धुओंके मारे जानेपर स्वयं भी युद्धमें ही प्राण-त्याग कर रहा हूँ, इससे मुझे विशेष संतोष है
Translation
“Thật là phúc lành rằng ta luôn giữ lòng hăng hái, với ý chí muốn giao chiến. Và cũng là phúc lành rằng trong trận chiến này ta đã ngã xuống, sau khi thân quyến và bằng hữu đã bị giết—được bỏ mạng ngay nơi chiến địa khiến ta đặc biệt mãn nguyện.”
