That one endued with great strength and prowess, born of Vrikodara in the course of a single day, that heroic Rakshasa of potent illusive powers, of whom I entertain great apprehensions. Who is always desirous of victory for the sons of Pritha, who is a thorn in the sides of my sons, what hero of my army kept that Ghatotkacha of gigantic body away from Drona?
सद्यो वृकोदराज्जातो महाबलपराक्रमः। मायावी राक्षसो वीरो यस्मान्मम महद् भयम्॥ पार्थानां जयकामं तं पुत्राणां मम कण्टकम्। घटोत्कचं महात्मानं कस्तं द्रोणादवारयत्॥
