O Sanjaya, Most willing to acquire a knowledge in archery, the Brahmanas, the Kshatriyas and the Vaishyas received instructions of that highly intellectual son of Drona. What did that youthful, that handsomelooking, that highly famous Ashvatthaman, endued with beauty, say, when he saw Karna slain in battle?
ब्राह्मणाः क्षत्रिया वैश्या यस्य शिक्षामुपासते॥ धनुर्वेद चिकीर्षन्तो द्रोणपुत्रस्य धीमतः। युवा रूपेण सम्पन्नो दर्शनीयो महायशाः॥ अश्वत्थामा हते कर्णे किमभाषत संजय।
