पृच्छामि त्वां संजय राजमध्ये; किमब्रवीद्वाक्यमदीनसत्त्वः । धनंजयस्तात युधां प्रणेता; दुरात्मनां जीवितच्छिन्महात्मा ॥
English Translation
Dhritarashtra said I ask you, O Sanjaya, in the midst of these kings, what words the noble minded Dhananjaya of Pure habits, the leader in battles, the destroyer of the lives of men of vicious habits, said.

Without the slightest fear and conscious of the strength of his arms, in the presence of Vasudeva, the wise one spoke to me. Kiritin, eager to fight, said to me. “Tell the son of Dhritarashtra in the midst of the Kurus."

And also in the hearing of those kings who have been assembled to fight the Pandavas, the entire collection of words used by me; let that king with his ministers hear what I say.

As all the gods hear what is said by the chief of the deities, with the thunderbolt in his hands, so did the Pandavas and the Srinjaya listen to the able speech made by Kiritin.
इत्यब्रवीदर्जुनो योत्स्यमानो; गाण्डीवधन्वा लोहितपद्मनेत्रः । न चेद्राज्यं मुञ्चति धार्तराष्ट्रो; युधिष्ठिरस्याजमीढस्य राज्ञः । अस्ति नूनं कर्म कृतं पुरस्ता;दनिर्विष्टं पापकं धार्तराष्ट्रैः ॥
