Devanagari script

न मोहात्‌ कुरुते जिष्णु: कर्म पाण्डव गर्हितम्‌ । न पार्थस्य मृषोक्तानि कथयन्ति नरा नृषु,पाण्डुनन्दन! तुम्हारे भाई अर्जुन कभी मोहवश निन्दित कर्म नहीं करते। मनुष्य आपसमें कभी अर्जुनके मिथ्याभाषणकी चर्चा नहीं करते हैं

Transliteration

na mohāt kurute jiṣṇuḥ karma pāṇḍava garhitam | na pārthasya mṛṣoktāni kathayanti narā nṛṣu, pāṇḍunandana |

Translation

Dhanada nói: “Jiṣṇu (Arjuna) không vì mê lầm mà làm điều gì đáng bị chê trách giữa hàng Pāṇḍava. Người đời cũng chẳng hề truyền miệng với nhau về bất cứ lời dối trá nào từng thốt ra từ Pārtha. Hỡi con của Pāṇḍu, hạnh kiểm của chàng không vết nhơ, và lời nói của chàng được tin cậy.”
