What warriors of my army encountered Sikhandin when he rushed at Drona-Sikhandin, the foremost of mean, who has relised the pleasures (in himself) of man hood and femininity, that son of Yajnasena, who is ever cheerful in battle and who became the cause of the death of the high souled Devavrata in battle?
स्त्रीपुंसयोर्नरव्याघ्रो यः स वेद गुणागुणान्। शिखण्डिनं याज्ञसेनिमम्लानमनसं युधि॥ देवव्रतस्य समरे हेतुं मृत्योर्महात्मनः। द्रोणायाभिमुखं यान्तं के शूराः पर्यवारयन्॥
