Dhritarashtra said That Ajatasatru (Yudhishthira) who like the rising sun drives awake darkness by his own radiance, who (charges an enemy), like a tremendous and infuriated elephant in rut, incapable of being defeated by a rival leader of herds, charging a rival proceeding with cheerful face towards a female of the species, what great warrior of my host faced that Ajatasatru, as he charged, in order to keep him away from Drona? That foremost of men, that hero, who has slain in battle many brave warriors.
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच यः स उद्यन्निवादित्यो ज्योतिषा प्रणुदंस्तमः। अजातशत्रुमायान्तं कस्तं द्रोणादवारयत्॥ प्रभिन्नमिव मातङ्गं यथा क्रुद्धं तरस्विनम्। प्रसन्नवदनं दृष्ट्वा प्रतिद्विरदगामिनम्॥ वासितासंगमे यद्वदजय्यं प्रति यूथपैः। निजधान रणे वीरान् वीरः पुरुषसत्तमः॥
