O Lord that invincible hero, Abhimanyu, who, as a boy, was like Savyasachin, Keshava and Baladeva and who also was greatly skilled in battle, was surrounded by six of the most exalted of the car-warriors and slain by them, after having made an utter extermination of the enemies, when they (warriors) became incapable of withstanding Arjuna.
यो बाल एव समरे सम्मितः सव्यसाचिना। केशवेन च दुर्धर्षो बलदेवेन वा विभो॥ परेषां कदनं कृत्वा महास्थविशारदः। परिवार्य महामात्रैः षड्भिः परमकै रथैः॥ अशक्नुवद्भिर्बीभत्सुमभिमन्युनिपातितः।
