As I, though very much distressed, do not see that son of Pritha, Dhananjaya who was born under the influence of the constellation Falguni, who ranges amidst enemies like angry Yama at the time of the universal dissolution, who possesses the prowess of an elephant with the juice trickling down its temple, who has lion-like shoulder, who is in no way inferior to Sakra (Indra) in energy and prowess, who is elder of the twins, who rides on white horses, who is immeasurably powerful, invincible and the wielder of the strongest bow, O Vrikodara, I am miserable.
चरन्तमरिसंघेषु काले क्रुद्धमिवान्तकम्। प्रभिन्नमिव मातङ्गं सिंहस्कन्धंधनंजयम्॥ यः स शक्रादनवरो वीर्येण द्रविणेन च। यमयोः पूर्वजः पार्थः श्वेताश्वोऽमितविक्रमः॥ दुःखेन महताविष्टस्तं न पश्यामि फाल्गुनम्। अजेयमुग्रधन्वानं तेन तप्ये वृकोदर॥
