Sanskrit Original
यदि भीष्मो रणश्लाघी द्रोणो वा युधि दुर्मदः॥ न हनिष्यति कौन्तेयान् पक्षपातात् सुयोधन। पुनस्तात पाण्डवैः। सर्वानेव हनिष्यामि व्येतु ते मानसो ज्वरः॥ किं करिष्यति गाण्डीवमक्षय्यौ च महेषुधी। स्निग्धचन्दनदिग्धस्य मच्छरस्यभिधावतः॥ स नूनमृषभस्कन्धो ह्यर्जुनेन कथं हतः। यश्च गाण्डीवमुक्तानां स्पर्शमुग्रमचिन्तयन्॥ अपतिसि कृष्णेति ब्रुवन् पार्थानवैक्षत। यस्य नासीद् भयं पार्थैः सपुत्रैः सजनार्दनैः॥ स्वबाहुलमाश्रित्य मुहूर्तमपि संजय। तस्य नाहं वधं मन्ये देवैरपि सवासवैः॥ प्रतीपमभिधावद्भिः किं
That hero, having disregarded the severe touch of the shots from the Gandiva bow, addressed Krishna, saying,'Doubtless you have no husbands;' and he also cast his glance upon the sons of Pritha. Again, O Sanjaya, placing confidence upon the strength of his own arms, that hero had no fear even for a moment, aroused by the sons of Pritha accompanied as they were by their sons and Janardana himself. I do not consider that his slaughter can ever be brought about by all the celestials, rushing against him, headed by Vashava himself. Again, O son, how can it by the Pandavas?
