English: Having proclaimed my religious vows among all the kings in the earth, “I shall never slay a woman or one that has been a woman.”
Sanskrit: स हि स्त्रीपूर्वको राजन् शिखण्डी यदि ते कन्या भूत्वा पुमान् जातो न योत्स्ये तेन भारत।॥
English: That Shikhandin, Oking, has formerly been a woman, perhaps you have heard of it; being originally a female he afterwards became a male and I shall not fight with him, O Bharata.
