O Sanjaya, when such is the matter with the battle which is most dreadful I have often heard that my sons were being constantly defeated and slaughtered. There exists no one who can restrain the Pandavas in the battle; and they enter into my whole force, even as one penetrates into the midst of a throng of women. I is sure that Destiny is the must supreme.
यदेवं वर्तमानेषु महायुद्धेषु संजय॥ अश्रौषं निहतान् पुत्रान् नित्यदेव विनिर्जितान्। न पाण्डवानां समरे कश्चिदस्ति निवारकः॥ स्त्रीमध्यमिव गाहन्ते दैवं तु बलवत्तरम्।
