mahabharataved-vyasvirata-parva

Sanskrit Original

द्विपा वा बलिनो राजन् वृषभा वा महाबलाः। विनिग्राह्या यदि मया निग्रहीष्यामि तानपि॥ ये च केचिन्नियोत्स्यन्ति समाजेषु नियोधकाः। तानहं हि नियोत्स्यामि रतिं तस्य विवर्धयन्॥ न त्वेतान् युद्ध्यमानान् वै हनिष्यामि कथञ्चन। तथैतान् पातयिष्यामि यथा यास्यन्ति न क्षयम्॥
