Sanjaya said The Kaurava warriors, who now resembled the serpents deprived of their fangs and poison and trodden over by the feet and some of whom were struck and wounded and some, again, were deprived of their armours, weapons and proper conveyances and some of whom were thrown down and who all, again, uttered very plaintive voices and who were scorched by the fire of grief and who merely made a parade of their knowledge in arms and who were all defeated by the antagonists and who now repaired to their encampment, had been counselling with one another.
संजय उवाच दीनस्वरा दूयमाना हताहतविध्वस्ता विवर्मायुधवाहनाः। मानिनः शत्रुनिर्जिताः॥ शिबिरस्थाः पुनर्मन्त्रं मन्त्रयन्ति स्म कौरवाः। भग्नदंष्ट्रा हतिविषाः पादाक्रान्ता इवोरगाः॥
