Yudhishthira said On account of the death of young Abhimanyu of the sons of Draupadi, of Draupadi, of Dhrishtadyumna, of Virata, of king Drupada, of Vasusena conversant with every duty, of the royal Dhrishtaketu, and of Various other kings coming from various, countries in battle, grief does not forsake my wretched self that am a destroyer of kinsmen! Indeed, I covet very much for kingdom and am an exterminator of my own race.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच अभिमन्यौ हते बाले द्रौपद्यास्तनयेषु च। धृष्टद्युम्ने विराटे च दुपदे च महीपतौ॥ वृषसेने च धर्मज्ञे धृष्टकेतौ तु पार्थिवे। तथान्येषु नरेन्द्रेषु नानादेश्येषु संयुगे॥ न च मुञ्चति मां शोको ज्ञातिघातिनमातुरम्। राज्यकामुकमत्युग्रं स्ववंशोच्छेदकारिणम्॥
