O Sanjaya, whatever words were uttered by you were all heard by me. O charioteer, has not my son Duryodhana gone to the region of Yama? Has my son, who is ever desirous of victory, grown desperate of success? O Sanjaya, do you repeat to me in detail truly what you have said already.
यत् त्वया कथितं वाक्यं श्रुतं संजय तन्मया। कच्चिद् दुर्योधनः सूत न गतो वै यमक्षयम्॥ जये निराशः पुत्रो मे सततं जयकामुकः। ब्रूहि संजय तत्त्वेन पुनरुक्तां कथामिमाम्॥
