Addressing his own army which had not fled far but which, wounded with arrows, were bent upon flying, Then Duryodhana said these words: "I do not see a place on plain or mountain, where if you fly, the Pandavas will not pursue and kill you. What is the use of flight?
नातिदूरापयातं तु कृतबुद्धिं पलायने॥ दुर्योधनः स्वकं सैन्यमब्रवीद् भृशविक्षतम्। न तं देशं प्रपश्यामि पृथिव्यां पर्वतेषु च॥ यत्र यातान्न वा हन्युः पाण्डवाः किं सृतेन वः।
