O mighty-armed one, the orb of the day, is quickly going towards the Western hills. O foremost of men, I have undertaken to achieve a mighty task. But the ruler of the Sindhus on the other hand is protected by many foremnost warriors among the Kurus. O Krishna, do you drive the horses in such a manner that my vow may be fulfilled before sunset and that Jayadratha may be slain. were
अस्तमेति महाबाहो त्वरमाणो दिवाकरः॥ एतद्धि पुरुषव्याघ्र महदभ्युद्यतं मया। कार्य संरक्ष्यते चैष कुरुसेनामहारथैः॥ तथा नाभ्येति सूर्योऽस्तं यथा सत्यं भवेद् वचः। चोदयाश्वांस्तथा कृष्ण यथा हन्यां जयद्रथम्॥
