Beholding his troops flying away in fear of Bhimasena, Duryodhana, then, with cries of Oh and Alas, addressed his driver, saying-If I stand it the rear of the army, armed with my bow, Partha then will never be able to go beyond me. Drive quickly the horses, therefore.
तान् प्रेक्ष्य द्रवतः सर्वान् भीमसेनभयार्दितान्॥ दुर्योधनोऽथ स्वं सूतं हा हा कृत्वैवमब्रवीत्। नातिक्रमिष्यते पार्थो धनुष्पाणिमवस्थितम्॥ जघने युद्धमानं मां तूर्णमश्वान् प्रचोदय।
