11.14
ततः स विस्मयाविष्टो हृष्टरोमा धनञ्जयः ।
प्रणम्य शिरसा देवं कृताञ्जलिरभाषत ॥
tataḥ sa vismayāviṣṭo hṛṣṭaromā dhanañjayaḥ
praṇamya śirasā devaṃ kṛtāñjalir abhāṣata
Sañjaya (सञ्जय) is still speaking, to Dhṛtarāṣṭra (धृतराष्ट्र).
The verse
Then Dhanañjaya (धनञ्जय), filled with wonder, his hair bristling, bowed with his head to the god and, palms joined, spoke.
नेपालीमा
तब आश्चर्यले भरिएको, रौँ ठडिएको धनञ्जयले देवलाई शिर झुकाएर, हात जोडेर बोल्यो।
Where it sits
The seeing of 11.13 becomes a body. Wonder first, then the bow, then speech. From 11.15 the lines lengthen, and the voice is his.

The phrases
tataḥ saḥ vismaya-āviṣṭaḥ hṛṣṭa-romā dhanañjayaḥ (ततः सः विस्मय-आविष्टः हृष्ट-रोमा धनञ्जयः) is the man before the speech. Filled with wonder, hair standing, and the name is Dhanañjaya (धनञ्जय).
praṇamya śirasā devam kṛta-añjaliḥ abhāṣata (प्रणम्य शिरसा देवम् कृत-अञ्जलिः अभाषत) is the bow and then the word. Having bowed with his head to the god, palms joined, he spoke. The speech itself begins at 11.15.
Sanskrit in this line
saḥ (सः) before a consonant is recited sa (स), not so (सो). The pronoun is irregular. Other words in aḥ (अः) become o (ओ) before a voiced consonant: vismaya-āviṣṭaḥ (विस्मय-आविष्टः) is vismayāviṣṭo (विस्मयाविष्टो) before hṛṣṭa (हृष्ट). Do not give saḥ (सः) that o (ओ). कृत-अञ्जलिः + अभाषत kṛta-añjaliḥ + abhāṣata is kṛtāñjalir abhāṣata (कृताञ्जलिरभाषत): iḥ (इः) before a vowel becomes ir (इर्).
Say it back
The state of his body, and what he did before speaking. If he speaks without praṇamya (प्रणम्य), the bow was skipped.
