सेनापति-निर्णयः तथा पाण्डवसेनायाः कुरुक्षेत्रगमनम्
Decision on Command and the Pandavas’ March to Kurukshetra
भारत! वहाँ मैंने बहुत-से अद्भुत, भयंकर, निछ्ठर एवं अमानुषिक कर्मोका प्रदर्शन किया
bhārata! tatra mayā bahūny adbhutāni bhayaṅkarāṇi niṣṭhurāṇy amānuṣikāṇi karmāṇi pradarśitāni
Hỡi Bhārata, tại đó ta đã phô bày nhiều hành vi—kỳ diệu mà ghê rợn, khắc nghiệt và vượt khỏi tầm mức của người phàm.
