The Kuru warriors, seeking your son's welfare, suddenly came back. Upon their return, the battle once more became fearful, between your warriors and those of the foe, resembling that between the gods and the Asuras in the days of yore. Neither amongst the enemies nor amongst your people was there a single warrior who fled away from the field.
निवृत्ताः सहसा योधास्तव पुत्रजयैषिणः। सन्निवृत्तेषु तेष्वेवं युद्धमासीत् सुदारुणम्॥ तावकानां परेषां च देवासुररणोपमम्। परेषां तव सैन्ये वा नासीत् कश्चित् पराङ्मुखः॥
