Udyoga Parva, Chapter 81: Krishna Sets Out as Envoy
“आज भीमसेनके संधिके लिये कहे गये वचन मेरे हृदयमें बाणके समान लगे हैं, जिनसे पीड़ित होकर मेरा कलेजा फटा जा रहा है। हाय! ये महाबाहु आज (मेरे अपमानको भुलाकर) केवल धर्मका ही ध्यान धर रहे हैं ।।
ity uktvā bāṣpa-ruddhena kaṇṭhenāyata-locanā | ruroda kṛṣṇā sotkampaṃ sa-svaraṃ bāṣpa-gadgadam ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“即便在今日，毗摩塞那（Bhīmasena）为求和所说的话也如箭般刺入我心，使我痛苦得肝胆欲裂。唉！这位臂力无双的英雄（仿佛忘却了我所受的羞辱）如今只一心顾念达摩（dharma）。”说罢，黑公主克里希娜（Kṛṣṇā，德劳帕蒂）喉间被泪水哽住，双目修长而阔，浑身颤抖，放声痛哭，声音断续，尽是呜咽。
