तदप्यथ निमेषार्धाचिच्छेदास्य वृकोदरः॥ तृतीयं च चतुर्थ च पञ्चमं षष्ठमेव हि। सप्तमं चाष्टमं चैव नवमं दशमं तथा॥ एकादशं द्वादशं च त्रयोदशमथापि च। चतुर्दशं पञ्चदशं षोडशं च वृकोदरः॥ तथा सप्तदशं वेगादष्टादशमथापि वा। बहूनि भीमश्चिच्छेद कर्णस्यैवं धनूंषि हि॥ निमेषार्धात् ततः कर्णो धनुर्हस्तो व्यतिष्ठत। दृष्ट्वा स कुरुसौवीरसिन्धुवीरबलक्षयम्॥ सवर्मध्वजशस्त्रैश्च पतितैः संवृतां महीम्। हस्त्यश्वरथदेहांश्च गतासून प्रेक्ष्य सर्वशः॥
