O king, I shall then conquer the earth adorned with mountains, woods and forests. The earth has been conquered by the four mighty Pandavas. I shall certainly conquer it for you single-handed. Let that wretch of the Kuru race, the exceedingly wicked minded Bhishma see it.
जेष्यामि पृथिवीं राजन् सशैलवनकाननाम्। जिता च पाण्डवैर्भूमिश्चतुर्भिर्बलशालिभिः॥ तामहं ते विजेष्यामि एक एव न संशयः। सम्पश्यतु सुदुर्बुद्धिर्भीष्मः कुरुकुलाधमः॥
