शासनाद् धर्मराजस्य क्षत्ता सूतश्च संजयः। सुधर्मा धौम्यसहित इन्द्रसेनादयस्तथा॥ चन्दनागुरुकाष्ठानि तथा कालीयकान्युत। घृतं तैलं च गन्धांश्च क्षौमाणि वसनानि च॥ समाहृत्य महार्हाणि दारूणां चैव संजयान्। रथांश्च मृदितांस्तत्र नानाप्रहरणानि च॥ चिताः कृत्वा प्रयत्नेन यथामुख्यान् नराधिपान्। दाहयामासुरव्यग्राः शास्त्रदृष्टेन कर्मणा॥
