Cutting the flesh from the dead animals, that best of Rishis, having lighted a sacrificial fire on the tirtha of the Sarasvati, poured those pieces as libations for the destruction of king Dhritarashtra's kingdom. The great ascetic Dalvya-vaka, O king poured Dhritarashtra's kingdom as a libation on the fire.
स तूत्कृत्य मृतानां वै मांसानि मुनिसत्तमः॥ जुहाव धृतराष्ट्रस्य राष्ट्र अवाकीर्णे सरस्वत्यास्तीर्थे प्रज्वाल्य पावकम्॥ बको दाल्भ्यो महाराज नियम परमं स्थितः। स तैरेव जुहावास्य राष्ट्रं मांसैर्महातपाः॥
