Afflicted by Karna and Drona and Kripa and others, with exceedingly sharp shafts of various shape and well-polished tips, my son of smalll strength must have repeatedly thought-"My father will surely rescue me from this difficulty.” I think, when thus thinking of me he was felled to ground by those ruthless warriors.
पीड्यमानः शरैस्तीक्ष्णैः कर्णद्रोणकृपादिभिः॥ नानालिङ्गैः सुधौतागैर्मम पुत्रोऽल्पचेतनः। इह मे स्यात् परित्राणं पितेति स पुनः पुनः॥ इतयेवं विलपन् मन्ये नृशंसैर्भुवि पातितः।
