I shall to-day, in the very presence of Vasudeva, dispatch all the Panchalas, by all means in my power, to the abode of Yama. You should O king, grant me permission.'-Hearing these words of Drona's son, that were highly pleasant, the Kuru king addressed Kripa, saying-'O preceptor, bring me soon a pot full of water.' — At these words of the king, that foremost of Brahmanas, soon brought a vessel full of water.
अद्याहं सर्वपञ्चालान् वासुदेवस्य. पश्यतः॥ सर्वोपायैर्हि नेष्यामि प्रेतराजनिवेशनम्। अनुज्ञां तु महाराज भवान् मे दातुमर्हति॥ इति श्रुत्वा तु वचनं द्रोणपुत्रस्य कौरवः। मनसः प्रीतिजननं कृपं वचनमब्रवीत्॥ आचार्य शीघ्रं कलशं जलपूर्ण समानय। स तद् वचनमाज्ञाय राज्ञो ब्राह्मणसत्तमः॥ कलशं पूर्णमादाय राज्ञोऽन्तिकमुपागमत्।
