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
“亦为福佑：我怀着求战之心，始终振奋斗志。又为福佑：在此战中我被杀，亲族与至亲既已殒落，而我亦在战场上舍命——此事令我尤为欣慰。”
