महाभारतः mahābhārataḥ - book-2, chapter-60, verse-12

सभ्यास्त्वमी राजपुत्र्याह्वयन्ति मन्ये प्राप्तः संक्षयः कौरवाणाम् ।
न वै समृद्धिं पालयते लघीयान्यत्त्वं सभामेष्यसि राजपुत्रि ॥१२॥

12. sabhyāstvamī rājaputryāhvayanti; manye prāptaḥ saṁkṣayaḥ kauravāṇām ,
na vai samṛddhiṁ pālayate laghīyā;nyattvaṁ sabhāmeṣyasi rājaputri.

12. sabhyāḥ tu amī rāja-putryāḥ āhvayanti
manye prāptaḥ saṃkṣayaḥ kauravāṇām
na vai samṛddhim pālayate laghīyān
yat tvam sabhām eṣyasi rāja-putri

12. O princess, these members of the assembly are summoning you. I believe the ultimate ruin (saṃkṣaya) of the Kauravas has arrived. Surely, an insignificant person (Duryodhana) cannot preserve his prosperity by compelling you, O princess, to come to this assembly.

12. הו בת מלך, אנשי האולם קוראים לך. נדמה לי שהגיע חורבנם של בני קוּרוּ. הקטן אינו שומר על שגשוג, כאשר אתה, הו בת מלך, תבואי אל האולם.
