हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

‘अहो! क्षत्रियोंका कैसा अद्भुत तेज है, वे थोड़ा-सा भी मान-भंग नहीं सह सकते। देखो, अभी तो यह नन्हा-सा बच्चा है; तो भी इसके हृदयमें सौतेली माताके कटु वचन घर कर गये हैं’॥ २६॥

स्रोत-खंड सीमा · यह हिन्दी अंश गीता प्रेस डिजिटल पाठ में इस दृश्य श्लोक-इकाई के बाद आता है; इसे स्वतः एक-से-एक टीका या संस्करण-समानता नहीं माना गया है।
