यदाश्रौषं माधवं वासुदेवं; सर्वात्मना पाण्डवार्थे निविष्टम् यस्येमां गां विक्रमम् एकम् आहुस्; तदा नाशंसे विजयाय संजय यदाश्रौषं लोकहिताय कृष्णं शमार्थिनम् उपयातं कुरूणाम् शमं कुर्वाणम् अकृतार्थं च यातं तदा नाशंसे विजयाय संजय

yadāśrauṣaṃ mādhavaṃ vāsudevaṃ; sarvātmanā pāṇḍavārthe niviṣṭam yasyemāṃ gāṃ vikramam ekam āhus; tadā nāśaṃse vijayāya saṃjaya yadāśrauṣaṃ lokahitāya kṛṣṇaṃ śamārthinam upayātaṃ kurūṇām śamaṃ kurvāṇam akṛtārthaṃ ca yātaṃ tadā nāśaṃse vijayāya saṃjaya

“Dhritarashtra recounts to Sanjaya, one by one, the events he heard of - Arjuna's winning of Draupadi, the Rajasuya, the dice game and Draupadi's humiliation, the exile, Arjuna's divine weapons, and all the deeds of the great war - after each of which, he says, he had no hope of success. (trans. K.M. Ganguli)”
