Those words of the sages, O Janarddana, have now borne fruits, because the Kshatriyas are undergoing almost entire extermination on account of Duryodhana's miss-deeds. I shall, O Madhava, kill all the warriors today.
तदिदं वचनं तेषां निरुक्तं वै जनार्दन। क्षयं याता हि राजानो दुर्योधनकृते भृशम्॥ सोऽद्य सर्वान् रणे योधान् निहनिष्यामि माधव।
