I had no hope of success, O Sanjaya, when I heard that Yuyudhana of the Vrishni race went back to the place where Krishna and Arjuna were, after having thrown the army of Drona into disorder, having none to withstand the attack on account of powerful elephant.
यदाश्रौषं नागबलैः सुदुःसहं द्रोणानीकं युयुधानं प्रमथ्य। यातं वार्ष्णेयं यत्र तौ कृष्णपार्थों तदा नाशंसे विजयाय संजय॥
