Burning with grief, the queen wetted with her tears the body of her son, possessed of massive and broad shoulders, and adorned with garlands and collar. Addressing Hrishikesha, who stood by her, she said,-'On the eve on this battie, O powerful one, that had exterminated this race, this foremost of kings, O Vrishny hero, said to me,-In this civil battle, O mother, wish me success!-When he said these words, myself, knowing that a great calamity had befallen us, told him, O foremost of men, Victory is there where righteousness is.
सुगूढजत्रुविपुलं हारनिष्कविभूषितम्। वारिणा नेत्रजेनोरः सिंचन्ती शोकतापिता॥ समीपस्थं हृषीकेशमिदं वचनमब्रवीत्। उपस्थितेऽस्मिन् संग्रामे ज्ञातीनां संक्षये विभो॥ मामयं प्राह वार्ष्णेय प्राञ्जलिर्नृपसत्तमः। अस्मिन् ज्ञातिसमुद्धर्ष जयमम्बा ब्रवीतु मे॥ इत्युक्ते जानती सर्वमहं स्वव्यसनागमम्। अब्रवं पुरुषव्याघ्र यतो धर्मस्ततो जयः॥
