Dhritarashtra said "Struck on the head, his thighs broken, laid low on the ground, exceedingly proud, what, O Sanjaya, did my son then say? King Duryodhana was highly wrathful and his enmity to the sons of Pandu was deep-scated. When therefore, this great calamity befell him, what did he next say on the field?"
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच अधिष्ठितः पदा मूर्ध्नि भग्नसक्थो महीं गतः। शौटीर्यमानी पुत्रो मे किमभाषत संजय॥ अत्यर्थं कोपनो राजा जातवैरश्च पाण्डुषु। व्यसनं परमं प्राप्तः किमाह परमाहवे॥
