155. When I heard, O Saṃjaya, that the Brahmāśira weapon released by Arjuna was pacified by (Arjuna's) weapon with the words 'for welfare!', and that the jewel from his head was given by Aśvatthāmā, then I no longer hoped for victory.

155. כאשר שמעתי שאַרְג׳וּנַה שיגר את נשק בְּרַהְמַשִׁירַס ואמר שיהיה טוב, והנשק הזה נרגע בידי נשק אחר, ושאַשְׁוַטְטְהָאמַן נתן את אבן החן שלו, אז, הו סַנְג׳ַיַה, איבדתי כל תקווה לניצחון.
