पितामहं शान्तनवं धृतराष्ट्रं च संजय। द्रोणं कृपं च कर्णं च महाराजं च बाह्निकम्॥ द्रौणिं च सोमदत्तं च शकुनि चापि सौबलम्। दुःशासनं शलं चैव पुरुमित्रं विविंशतिम्॥ विकर्ण चित्रसेनं च जयत्सेनं च पार्थिवम्। विन्दानुविन्दावावन्त्यौ दुर्मुखं चापि कौरवम्॥ सैन्धव दुःसहं चैव भूरिश्रवसमेव च। भगदत्तं च राजानं जलसन्धं च पार्थिवम्॥ ये चाप्यन्ये पार्थिवास्तत्र योद्धं समागताः कौरवाणां प्रियार्थम्। मुमूर्षवः पाण्डवाग्नौ प्रदीप्ते समानीता धार्तराष्ट्रण होतुम्॥
