Just when those warriors were fainted, the facts told by Uttara came to Arjuna's mind and he instructed Uttara, the son of Matsya king to slip carefully out from that place before they could regain conscious. He further said that Uttara should take-off white clothes from the body of preceptor Drona and Kripacharya, the yellow garment from Karnas body and blue garments from the body of Ashvatthama and king Duryodhana.
तथा विसंज्ञेषु च तेषु पार्थः स्मृत्वा च वाक्यानि तथोत्तरायाः। मुवाच यावत् कुरवो विसंज्ञाः॥ आचार्यशारद्वतयोः सुशुक्ले कर्णस्य पीतं रुचिरं च वस्त्रम्। द्रौणेश्च राज्ञश्च तथैव नीले वस्त्रे समादत्स्व नरप्रवीर॥
