संजय उवाच ।
तत्प्रभग्नं बलं दृष्ट्वा कुन्तीपुत्रो धनंजयः ।
न्यवारयदमेयात्मा द्रोणपुत्रवधेप्सया ॥१॥
1. saṁjaya uvāca ,
tatprabhagnaṁ balaṁ dṛṣṭvā kuntīputro dhanaṁjayaḥ ,

1. sañjaya uvāca kuntīputraḥ ameyātmā dhanañjayaḥ tat
prabhagnam balam dṛṣṭvā droṇaputravadhepsayā nyavārayat
1. Sanjaya said: Seeing that shattered army, the immeasurable-souled Dhananjaya, son of Kunti, held back, driven by the desire to kill Drona's son.
ततस्ते सैनिका राजन्नैव तत्रावतस्थिरे ।
संस्थाप्यमाना यत्नेन गोविन्देनार्जुनेन च ॥२॥
2. tataste sainikā rājannaiva tatrāvatasthire ,
saṁsthāpyamānā yatnena govindenārjunena ca.
2. tataḥ te sainikā rājan na eva tatra avatasthire
saṃsthāpyamānā yatnena govindena arjunena ca
2. rājan tataḥ te sainikā govindena arjunena ca
yatnena saṃsthāpyamānā tatra na eva avatasthire
2. O King, those soldiers did not stand firm there, even though Govinda and Arjuna were diligently trying to rally them.
एक एव तु बीभत्सुः सोमकावयवैः सह ।
मत्स्यैरन्यैश्च संधाय कौरवैः संन्यवर्तत ॥३॥
3. eka eva tu bībhatsuḥ somakāvayavaiḥ saha ,
matsyairanyaiśca saṁdhāya kauravaiḥ saṁnyavartata.
3. ekaḥ eva tu bībhatsuḥ somakāvayavaiḥ saha matsyaiḥ
anyaiḥ ca saṃdhāya kauravaiḥ saṃnyavartata
3. tu ekaḥ eva bībhatsuḥ somakāvayavaiḥ saha matsyaiḥ
anyaiḥ ca saṃdhāya kauravaiḥ saṃnyavartata
3. But Bibhatsu (Arjuna) alone, together with the Somakas and having allied with the Matsyas and others, confronted the Kauravas.
ततो द्रुतमतिक्रम्य सिंहलाङ्गूलकेतनम् ।
सव्यसाची महेष्वासमश्वत्थामानमब्रवीत् ॥४॥
4. tato drutamatikramya siṁhalāṅgūlaketanam ,
savyasācī maheṣvāsamaśvatthāmānamabravīt.
4. tataḥ drutam atikramya siṃhalāṅgūlaketanam
savyasācī maheṣvāsam aśvatthāmānam abravīt
4. tataḥ savyasācī siṃhalāṅgūlaketanam drutam
atikramya maheṣvāsam aśvatthāmānam abravīt
4. Then, Savyasācī (Arjuna), quickly bypassing the banner adorned with a lion's tail, spoke to the great archer Ashvatthama.
या शक्तिर्यच्च ते वीर्यं यज्ज्ञानं यच्च पौरुषम् ।
धार्तराष्ट्रेषु या प्रीतिः प्रद्वेषोऽस्मासु यश्च ते ।
यच्च भूयोऽस्ति तेजस्तत्परमं मम दर्शय ॥५॥
5. yā śaktiryacca te vīryaṁ yajjñānaṁ yacca pauruṣam ,
dhārtarāṣṭreṣu yā prītiḥ pradveṣo'smāsu yaśca te ,
yacca bhūyo'sti tejastatparamaṁ mama darśaya.
5. yā śaktiḥ yat ca te vīryam yat jñānam
yat ca pauruṣam dhārtarāṣṭreṣu yā prītiḥ
pradveṣaḥ asmāsu yaḥ ca te yat ca
bhūyaḥ asti tejas tat paramam mama darśaya
5. mama te yā śaktiḥ yat ca vīryam yat jñānam yat ca pauruṣam,
dhārtarāṣṭreṣu yā prītiḥ,
yaḥ ca te asmāsu pradveṣaḥ,
yat ca bhūyaḥ asti tat paramam tejas darśaya
5. Show me all your power (śakti), valor (vīrya), knowledge (jñāna), and heroism (pauruṣa). Also, show me the affection (prīti) you have for the sons of Dhritarashtra, and the hatred (pradveṣa) you bear towards us. And, reveal to me whatever other supreme splendor (tejas) you possess.
स एव द्रोणहन्ता ते दर्पं भेत्स्यति पार्षतः ।
कालानलसमप्रख्यो द्विषतामन्तको युधि ।
समासादय पाञ्चाल्यं मां चापि सहकेशवम् ॥६॥
6. sa eva droṇahantā te darpaṁ bhetsyati pārṣataḥ ,
kālānalasamaprakhyo dviṣatāmantako yudhi ,
samāsādaya pāñcālyaṁ māṁ cāpi sahakeśavam.
6. saḥ eva droṇahantā te darpam
bhetsyati pārṣataḥ kālānalasamaprakhyaḥ
dviṣatām antakaḥ yudhi samāsādaya
pāñcālyam mām ca api sahakeśavam
6. saḥ eva pārṣataḥ droṇahantā kālānalasamaprakhyaḥ yudhi dviṣatām antakaḥ te darpam bhetsyati.
pāñcālyam,
mām ca api sahakeśavam samāsādaya.
6. That very son of Prishata, the slayer of Drona, renowned like the fire of destruction (kālānala) and the destroyer of enemies in battle, will certainly shatter your pride. Approach Panchalya (Dhrishtadyumna), and also me, along with Keshava (Krishna).
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच ।
आचार्यपुत्रो मानार्हो बलवांश्चापि संजय ।
प्रीतिर्धनंजये चास्य प्रियश्चापि स वासवेः ॥७॥
7. dhṛtarāṣṭra uvāca ,
ācāryaputro mānārho balavāṁścāpi saṁjaya ,
prītirdhanaṁjaye cāsya priyaścāpi sa vāsaveḥ.
7. dhṛtarāṣṭraḥ uvāca ācāryaputraḥ mānārhaḥ balavān ca api
saṃjaya prītiḥ dhanaṃjaye ca asya priyaḥ ca api saḥ vāsaveḥ
7. dhṛtarāṣṭraḥ uvāca.
saṃjaya,
ācāryaputraḥ mānārhaḥ ca api balavān (asti).
asya dhanaṃjaye prītiḥ ca api (asti).
saḥ vāsaveḥ priyaḥ ca api (asti).
7. Dhritarashtra said: 'O Sanjaya, the preceptor's son (Aśvatthāman) is worthy of honor and also very powerful. He also possesses affection (prīti) for Dhanañjaya (Arjuna) and is dear to the son of Vasava (Arjuna).'
न भूतपूर्वं बीभत्सोर्वाक्यं परुषमीदृशम् ।
अथ कस्मात्स कौन्तेयः सखायं रूक्षमब्रवीत् ॥८॥
8. na bhūtapūrvaṁ bībhatsorvākyaṁ paruṣamīdṛśam ,
atha kasmātsa kaunteyaḥ sakhāyaṁ rūkṣamabravīt.
8. na bhūtapūrvam bībhatsoḥ vākyam paruṣam īdṛśam
atha kasmāt saḥ kaunteyaḥ sakhāyam rūkṣam abravīt
8. īdṛśam paruṣam vākyam bībhatsoḥ na bhūtapūrvam (āsīt).
atha kasmāt saḥ kaunteyaḥ sakhāyam rūkṣam abravīt?
8. Never before was such a harsh statement (vākya) uttered by Bibhatsu (Arjuna). Why, then, did that son of Kunti (Arjuna) speak so harshly to his friend?
संजय उवाच ।
युवराजे हते चैव वृद्धक्षत्रे च पौरवे ।
इष्वस्त्रविधिसंपन्ने मालवे च सुदर्शने ॥९॥
9. saṁjaya uvāca ,
yuvarāje hate caiva vṛddhakṣatre ca paurave ,
iṣvastravidhisaṁpanne mālave ca sudarśane.
9. sañjaya uvāca | yuvarāje hate ca eva vṛddhakṣatre ca
paurave | iṣv-astra-vidhi-saṃpanne mālove ca sudarśane
9. sañjaya uvāca yuvarāje hate ca eva vṛddhakṣatre ca
paurave iṣv-astra-vidhi-saṃpanne mālove ca sudarśane
9. Sanjaya said: When the crown prince was slain, and indeed when the elder Kṣatra, a descendant of Pūru, who was accomplished in the techniques of arrows and weapons, and also Mālava and Sudarśana (were in similar adverse circumstances)...
धृष्टद्युम्ने सात्यकौ च भीमे चापि पराजिते ।
युधिष्ठिरस्य तैर्वाक्यैर्मर्मण्यपि च घट्टिते ॥१०॥
10. dhṛṣṭadyumne sātyakau ca bhīme cāpi parājite ,
yudhiṣṭhirasya tairvākyairmarmaṇyapi ca ghaṭṭite.
10. dhṛṣṭadyumne sātyakau ca bhīme ca api parājite |
yudhiṣṭhirasya taiḥ vākyaiḥ marmaṇi api ca ghaṭṭite
10. dhṛṣṭadyumne sātyakau ca bhīme ca api parājite
yudhiṣṭhirasya taiḥ vākyaiḥ marmaṇi api ca ghaṭṭite
10. ...and when Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Sātyaki, and Bhīma were also defeated, and when [Arjuna's] vital spots (marman) were agitated even by those words of Yudhiṣṭhira...
अन्तर्भेदे च संजाते दुःखं संस्मृत्य च प्रभो ।
अभूतपूर्वो बीभत्सोर्दुःखान्मन्युरजायत ॥११॥
11. antarbhede ca saṁjāte duḥkhaṁ saṁsmṛtya ca prabho ,
abhūtapūrvo bībhatsorduḥkhānmanyurajāyata.
11. antar-bhede ca saṃjāte duḥkham saṃsmṛtya ca prabho
| abhūta-pūrvaḥ bībhatsoḥ duḥkhāt manyuḥ ajāyata
11. prabho duḥkham saṃsmṛtya ca antar-bhede ca saṃjāte
bībhatsoḥ duḥkhāt abhūta-pūrvaḥ manyuḥ ajāyata
11. And when internal discord (antar-bheda) also arose, and recalling the sorrow, O Lord, a rage (manyu) such as he had never before experienced arose in Arjuna (Bībhatsu) from his profound grief.
तस्मादनर्हमश्लीलमप्रियं द्रौणिमुक्तवान् ।
मान्यमाचार्यतनयं रूक्षं कापुरुषो यथा ॥१२॥
12. tasmādanarhamaślīlamapriyaṁ drauṇimuktavān ,
mānyamācāryatanayaṁ rūkṣaṁ kāpuruṣo yathā.
12. tasmāt anarham aślīlam apriyam drauṇim uktavān
| mānyam ācārya-tanayam rūkṣam kāpuruṣaḥ yathā
12. tasmāt [Arjuna] mānyam ācārya-tanayam drauṇim prati kāpuruṣaḥ
yathā anarham aślīlam apriyam rūkṣam [vākyam] uktavān
12. Therefore, driven by that rage, Arjuna spoke to Droṇa's son (Drauṇi) - who was worthy of respect and the son of his teacher - harsh words that were unworthy, indecent, and unpleasant, just like a base man would.
एवमुक्तः श्वसन्क्रोधान्महेष्वासतमो नृप ।
पार्थेन परुषं वाक्यं सर्वमर्मघ्नया गिरा ।
द्रौणिश्चुकोप पार्थाय कृष्णाय च विशेषतः ॥१३॥
13. evamuktaḥ śvasankrodhānmaheṣvāsatamo nṛpa ,
pārthena paruṣaṁ vākyaṁ sarvamarmaghnayā girā ,
drauṇiścukopa pārthāya kṛṣṇāya ca viśeṣataḥ.
13. evam uktaḥ śvasan krodhāt maheṣvāsātamaḥ
nṛpaḥ pārtena paruṣam vākyam
sarvamarmaghnayā girā drauṇiḥ
cukopa pārthāya kṛṣṇāya ca viśeṣataḥ
13. nṛpa evam uktaḥ pārtena sarvamarmaghnayā
girā paruṣam vākyam śvasan
krodhāt maheṣvāsātamaḥ drauṇiḥ
pārthāya kṛṣṇāya ca viśeṣataḥ cukopa
13. O King, thus addressed by Arjuna with harsh words - words delivered with a speech that struck all vital points - the greatest archer (Aśvatthāmā), sighing deeply in anger, became furious with Arjuna and especially with Krishna.
स तु यत्तो रथे स्थित्वा वार्युपस्पृश्य वीर्यवान् ।
देवैरपि सुदुर्धर्षमस्त्रमाग्नेयमाददे ॥१४॥
14. sa tu yatto rathe sthitvā vāryupaspṛśya vīryavān ,
devairapi sudurdharṣamastramāgneyamādade.
14. sa tu yattaḥ rathe sthitvā vāri upaspṛśya vīryavān
devaiḥ api sudurdharṣam astram āgneyam ādade
14. tu sa vīryavān yattaḥ rathe sthitvā vāri upaspṛśya
devaiḥ api sudurdharṣam āgneyam astram ādade
14. But that powerful one (Aśvatthāmā), having prepared himself and stood in his chariot, first performed the ritual touching of water, and then grasped the Agneya weapon, which was very difficult for even the gods to overpower.
दृश्यादृश्यानरिगणानुद्दिश्याचार्यनन्दनः ।
सोऽभिमन्त्र्य शरं दीप्तं विधूममिव पावकम् ।
सर्वतः क्रोधमाविश्य चिक्षेप परवीरहा ॥१५॥
15. dṛśyādṛśyānarigaṇānuddiśyācāryanandanaḥ ,
so'bhimantrya śaraṁ dīptaṁ vidhūmamiva pāvakam ,
sarvataḥ krodhamāviśya cikṣepa paravīrahā.
15. dṛśyādṛśyān arigaṇān uddiśya
ācāryanandanaḥ saḥ abhimantrya śaram
dīptam vidhūmam iva pāvakam sarvataḥ
krodham āviśya cikṣepa paravīrahā
15. ācāryanandanaḥ paravīrahā saḥ sarvataḥ
krodham āviśya dṛśyādṛśyān
arigaṇān uddiśya vidhūmam iva pāvakam
dīptam śaram abhimantrya cikṣepa
15. Aiming at the visible and invisible hosts of enemies, the son of the preceptor (Aśvatthāmā), having consecrated the blazing arrow - which shone like a smokeless fire - and filled completely with anger, the slayer of enemy heroes then shot it.
ततस्तुमुलमाकाशे शरवर्षमजायत ।
ववुश्च शिशिरा वाताः सूर्यो नैव तताप च ॥१६॥
16. tatastumulamākāśe śaravarṣamajāyata ,
vavuśca śiśirā vātāḥ sūryo naiva tatāpa ca.
16. tataḥ tumulam ākāśe śaravarṣam ajāyata vavuḥ
ca śiśirāḥ vātāḥ sūryaḥ na eva tatāpa ca
16. tataḥ ākāśe tumulam śaravarṣam ajāyata ca
śiśirāḥ vātāḥ vavuḥ ca sūryaḥ na eva tatāpa
16. Then a tumultuous shower of arrows arose in the sky, and cold winds began to blow, and the sun did not shine or give heat at all.
चुक्रुशुर्दानवाश्चापि दिक्षु सर्वासु भैरवम् ।
रुधिरं चापि वर्षन्तो विनेदुस्तोयदाम्बरे ॥१७॥
17. cukruśurdānavāścāpi dikṣu sarvāsu bhairavam ,
rudhiraṁ cāpi varṣanto vinedustoyadāmbare.
17. cukruśuḥ dānavāḥ ca api dikṣu sarvāsu bhairavam
rudhiram ca api varṣantaḥ vineduḥ toyadā ambare
17. dānavāḥ ca api sarvāsu dikṣu bhairavam cukruśuḥ
ca api rudhiram varṣantaḥ toyadā ambare vineduḥ
17. And the demons also roared terribly in all directions. Raining blood, they bellowed in the sky like thunder clouds.
पक्षिणः पशवो गावो मुनयश्चापि सुव्रताः ।
परमं प्रयतात्मानो न शान्तिमुपलेभिरे ॥१८॥
18. pakṣiṇaḥ paśavo gāvo munayaścāpi suvratāḥ ,
paramaṁ prayatātmāno na śāntimupalebhire.
18. pakṣiṇaḥ paśavaḥ gāvaḥ munayaḥ ca api suvratāḥ
paramam prayatātmānaḥ na śāntim upalebhire
18. pakṣiṇaḥ paśavaḥ gāvaḥ ca api suvratāḥ munayaḥ
paramam prayatātmānaḥ na śāntim upalebhire
18. Birds, animals, cows, and even the virtuous sages, though greatly self-controlled (ātman), could not find peace.
भ्रान्तसर्वमहाभूतमावर्जितदिवाकरम् ।
त्रैलोक्यमभिसंतप्तं ज्वराविष्टमिवातुरम् ॥१९॥
19. bhrāntasarvamahābhūtamāvarjitadivākaram ,
trailokyamabhisaṁtaptaṁ jvarāviṣṭamivāturam.
19. bhrāntasarvamahābhūtam āvarjitadivākaram
trailokyam abhisantaptam jvarāviṣṭam iva āturam
19. trailokyam bhrāntasarvamahābhūtam āvarjitadivākaram
abhisantaptam jvarāviṣṭam iva āturam
19. The three worlds (trailokyam), with all great beings bewildered and the sun dimmed, were greatly tormented, like a sick person afflicted by a fever.
शरतेजोऽभिसंतप्ता नागा भूमिशयास्तथा ।
निःश्वसन्तः समुत्पेतुस्तेजो घोरं मुमुक्षवः ॥२०॥
20. śaratejo'bhisaṁtaptā nāgā bhūmiśayāstathā ,
niḥśvasantaḥ samutpetustejo ghoraṁ mumukṣavaḥ.
20. śaratejaḥ abhisantaptāḥ nāgāḥ bhūmiśayāḥ tathā
niḥśvasantaḥ samutpetuḥ tejaḥ ghoram mumukṣavaḥ
20. śaratejaḥ abhisantaptāḥ bhūmiśayāḥ tathā nāgāḥ
niḥśvasantaḥ ghoram tejaḥ mumukṣavaḥ samutpetuḥ
20. And the serpents (nāgāḥ), tormented by the heat of the arrows and lying on the ground, rose up, hissing, eager to unleash their terrible venom (tejaḥ).
जलजानि च सत्त्वानि दह्यमानानि भारत ।
न शान्तिमुपजग्मुर्हि तप्यमानैर्जलाशयैः ॥२१॥
21. jalajāni ca sattvāni dahyamānāni bhārata ,
na śāntimupajagmurhi tapyamānairjalāśayaiḥ.
21. jalajāni ca sattvāni dahyamānāni bhārata na
śāntim upajagmuḥ hi tapyamānaiḥ jalāśayaiḥ
21. bhārata dahyamānāni jalajāni sattvāni ca
tapyamānaiḥ jalāśayaiḥ hi śāntim na upajagmuḥ
21. O Bhārata, the aquatic beings, being afflicted, indeed did not find peace, even when their reservoirs of water were themselves being heated.
दिशः खं प्रदिशश्चैव भुवं च शरवृष्टयः ।
उच्चावचा निपेतुर्वै गरुडानिलरंहसः ॥२२॥
22. diśaḥ khaṁ pradiśaścaiva bhuvaṁ ca śaravṛṣṭayaḥ ,
uccāvacā nipeturvai garuḍānilaraṁhasaḥ.
22. diśaḥ kham pradiśaḥ ca eva bhuvam ca śaravṛṣṭayaḥ
uccāvacāḥ nipetuḥ vai garuḍānilaramhsaḥ
22. garuḍānilaramhsaḥ uccāvacāḥ śaravṛṣṭayaḥ vai
diśaḥ kham ca pradiśaḥ eva bhuvam ca nipetuḥ
22. Indeed, showers of arrows, diverse and possessing the speed of Garuḍa and the wind, fell upon the cardinal directions, the sky, the intermediate directions, and the earth.
तैः शरैर्द्रोणपुत्रस्य वज्रवेगसमाहितैः ।
प्रदग्धाः शत्रवः पेतुरग्निदग्धा इव द्रुमाः ॥२३॥

23. droṇaputrasya vajravegasamāhitaiḥ taiḥ śaraiḥ
pradagdhāḥ śatravaḥ agnidagdhāḥ drumāḥ iva petuḥ
23. By those arrows of Droṇa's son, charged with the force of a thunderbolt, the enemies, completely consumed, fell like trees scorched by fire.
दह्यमाना महानागाः पेतुरुर्व्यां समन्ततः ।
नदन्तो भैरवान्नादाञ्जलदोपमनिस्वनान् ॥२४॥

jaladopamanisvanān bhairavān nādān nadantaḥ
24. The great elephants, being consumed by fire, fell everywhere on the earth, roaring terrifying sounds that resembled the rumbling of thunderclouds.

25. tatra dahyamānāḥ mahāgajāḥ apare pradrutāḥ
tathā ghore vane dāvāgni-saṃvṛtāḥ apare tresuḥ
25. Great elephants, scorched there, fled. Similarly, others, surrounded by a fierce forest fire in the dreadful forest, trembled in fear.
द्रुमाणां शिखराणीव दावदग्धानि मारिष ।
अश्ववृन्दान्यदृश्यन्त रथवृन्दानि चाभिभो ।
अपतन्त रथौघाश्च तत्र तत्र सहस्रशः ॥२६॥
26. drumāṇāṁ śikharāṇīva dāvadagdhāni māriṣa ,

26. O respected one (māriṣa), masses of horses and chariots were seen, burnt by the forest fire like the tops of trees. And O lord (abhibho), throngs of chariots fell by the thousands here and there.
तत्सैन्यं भगवानग्निर्ददाह युधि भारत ।

27. bhārata bhagavān agniḥ yudhi tat sainyam dadāha
yugānte saṃvartakaḥ iva analaḥ sarvabhūtāni
27. O Bhārata, the venerable Agni (fire god) consumed that army in battle, just as the cosmic fire of dissolution (saṃvartaka) consumes all beings at the end of an eon (yuga).
दृष्ट्वा तु पाण्डवीं सेनां दह्यमानां महाहवे ।
प्रहृष्टास्तावका राजन्सिंहनादान्विनेदिरे ॥२८॥

28. rājan tu mahāhave dahyamānām pāṇḍavīm senām
dṛṣṭvā tāvakāḥ prahṛṣṭāḥ siṃhanādān vinedire
28. But O king, having seen the Pāṇḍava army being consumed in the great battle, your men (tāvaka) were greatly delighted and roared lion-like roars.
ततस्तूर्यसहस्राणि नानालिङ्गानि भारत ।
तूर्णमाजघ्निरे हृष्टास्तावका जितकाशिनः ॥२९॥
29. tatastūryasahasrāṇi nānāliṅgāni bhārata ,

29. Then, O Bhārata, your joyful men, who appeared victorious, quickly sounded thousands of musical instruments of various kinds.
कृत्स्ना ह्यक्षौहिणी राजन्सव्यसाची च पाण्डवः ।
तमसा संवृते लोके नादृश्यत महाहवे ॥३०॥
30. kṛtsnā hyakṣauhiṇī rājansavyasācī ca pāṇḍavaḥ ,

30. rājan hi kṛtsnā akṣauhiṇī ca pāṇḍavaḥ savyasācī

30. Indeed, O king, the entire akṣauhiṇī army and the Pāṇḍava Arjuna (savyasācī) were not seen in the great battle, as the world was enveloped in darkness.

yādṛśaṁ droṇaputreṇa sṛṣṭamastramamarṣiṇā.
31. na eva naḥ tādṛśam rājan dṛṣṭapūrvam na ca śrutam

dhanuḥ nyasya,
rathāt vegitaḥ praskandya,
"dhik dhik idam sarvam mithyā" iti uktvā,

42. Then Droṇi (Aśvatthāman), having laid down his bow, swiftly jumped down from the chariot and, declaring "Fie! Fie! All this is useless!", fled from the battle.
ततः स्निग्धाम्बुदाभासं वेदव्यासमकल्मषम् ।

idam astram tu katham mithyā? mama kaḥ ca vyatikramaḥ?
45. Alas, alas! Is this illusion (māyā) or mere chance? We do not know what this might be. But how can this weapon prove ineffective? And what transgression have I committed?

46. etat adharottaram vā lokānām parābhavaḥ vā? yadi imau kṛṣṇau jīvataḥ,
hi kālaḥ duratikramaḥ.
46. Is this an inversion of order or the defeat of the worlds? If these two Krishnas are still alive, then time is indeed impossible to overcome.

tat idam jvalat kevalam yuktām akṣauhiṇīm hatvā (bhavati).
