THE MAHABHARATA
'
'नैष युद्धेन संग्रामे जेतुं शक्यः कथञ्चन ।
,
न्यस्तशस्त्रस्तु संग्रामे शक्यो हन्तुं भवेन्नृभिः ।
आस्थीयतां जये योगो धर्ममुत्सृज्य पाण्डवाः ।
अश्वत्थाम्
तं हतं संयुगे कश्चिदस्मै शंसतु मानवः ॥ '
Seeing the Pandavas in fear, Krishna
said to Arjuna : "This Drona cannot be
conquered by any means by fighting in
the battle; he can be killed by men if
he lays down his arms. Pandavas adopt
some trick for victory, abandoning Dharma.
I think, Drona will not fight, if Asvat-
thaman were killed ; let somebody tell
Drona that Asvatthaman has been killed in
the battle."
एतन्नारोचयद् [राजन् ] कुन्तीपुत्रो धनञ्जयः ।
अन्ये त्वरोचयन्सर्वे कृच्छ्रेण तु युधिष्ठिरः ॥
Arjuna did not like this; all the rest
did; Yudhisthira approved of it with
difficulty.
