O king of Madras, today my earnest desire is to fight out this son of Pandu and that will be achieved soon and that most beautiful extraordinary fight, the like of which has never been seen before, will occur very shortly. Today they will either put an end to me life or I will send them to their last account."
मनोरथो यस्तु ममाद्य तस्य मद्रेश युद्धं प्रति पाण्डवस्य। मत्यद्भुतं चित्रमतुल्यरूपम्॥ एतौ च हत्वा युधि पातयिष्ये मां वापि कृष्णौ निहनिष्यतोऽद्य।
