Sanjaya said Seeing Duryodhana struck down on Earth like a gigantic Shala uprooted by the storm, the Pandavas were filled with delight. The Somakas also saw, with their hair standing erect, the Kuru king felled upon the Earth, like an infuriate clephant felled by a lion.
संजय उवाच तं पातितं ततो दृष्ट्वा महाशालमिवोद्गतम्। प्रहृष्टमनसः सर्वे दद्दशुस्तत्र पाण्डवाः॥ उन्मत्तमिव मातङ्ग सिंहेन विनिपातितम्। दद्दशुर्हष्टरोमाण: सर्वे ते चापि सोमकाः॥
