Ambā Seeks Refuge with Rāma Jāmadagnya
भीष्म उवाच एवं कथयतामेव तेषां स दिवसो गत: । रात्रिश्न भरतश्रेष्ठ सुखशीतोष्णमारुता
bhīṣma uvāca evaṃ kathayatām eva teṣāṃ sa divaso gataḥ | rātriś ca bharataśreṣṭha sukhaśītoṣṇamārutā ||
毗湿摩说道：“婆罗多族中最杰出者啊，当他们仍在如此交谈之时，那一日已然流逝。夜晚也随之过去——怡然舒适，凉暖相调，又有轻柔微风拂动。”
भीष्म उवाच
