I had no hope of success, O Sanjaya, when I heard that the blind Kauravas were shouting was with joy for killing Abhimanyu and that Arjuna had taken his celebrated vow about Saindhava.
यदाश्रौषमभिन्युं निहत्य हर्षान्मूढान्क्रोशतो धार्तराष्ट्रान्। क्रोधादुक्तं सैन्धवे चार्जुनेन तदा नाशंसे विजयाय संजय॥
