O charioteer, that the pious king Yudhishthira should have gone away from the field, leading me alone in the midst of the enemy, is in itself hear-rending. Then again I am quite in the dark as to his fate. Nor do I know whether Vibhatsu is still alive or not. All these add to my grief.
एतद् दुःखं सारथे धर्मराजो यन्मां हित्वा यातवाशत्रुमध्ये। नैनं जीवं नाद्य जानाम्यजीवं बीभत्सुं वा तन्ममाद्यातिदुःखम्॥
