On beholding the slaughter of Karna, what did the king of Madras, that mighty bowman, that ornament of assemblies, Shalya of the Shauvira tribe, that foremost of charioteers engaged in driving away the car (of Karna), that leading chief of the Madra warriors, who was possessed of mighty strength, say?
मद्रराजो महेष्वासः शल्यः समितिशोभनः॥ दृष्ट्वा विनिहतं कर्णं सारथ्ये रथिनां वरः। किमभाषत वीरोऽसौ मद्राणामधिपो बली॥
