Having seen that both Durmarsana and Vrishasena were slain in battle and also having witnessed that his army being slaughtered by the mighty car-warriors, was dispersed and again, having seen that the kings (in his side), most unwilling to fight, were turning away from the field of battle and having beheld the great car-warriors already fled, I think my son is now surely lamenting.
दुर्मर्षणं हतं दृष्ट्वा वृषसेनं च संयुगे॥ प्रभग्नं च बलं दृष्ट्वा वध्यमानं महारथैः। पराङ्मुखांश्च राज्ञस्तु पलायनपरायणान्॥ विद्रुतान् रथिनो दृष्ट्वा मन्ये शोचति पुत्रकः।
