आ आ आआ…
अथ श्री महाभारत कथा
अथ श्री महाभारत कथा

महाभारत कथा
महाभारत कथा
कथा है पुरुषार्थ की ये
स्वार्थ की परमार्थ की
सारथी जिसके बने श्री कृष्णा
भारत पार्थ की
शब्ददिक घोषित हुआ जब
सत्य सार्थक सर्वदा
शब्ददिक घोषित हुआ
यदा यदा ही धर्मस्य
ग्लानीर भवती भारत
अभ्युत्धानाम अधर्मस्य
तदात्मानम सृजाम्यहम
परित्राणाय साधु नाम
विनाशय च दुष्कृताम
धरम संस्थापनार्थाय
सम्भावनी युगे युगे
