Sanjaya continued Thus chastised, O king, by Yudhishthira and his brothers, your royal son lying within the lake, O king of kings, heard those bitter words and became very wretched. Sighing heavily the king moved his arms again and again and making up his mind to fight, thus answered from within the lake, the royal son of Pandu.
संजय उवाच तय॑मानस्तदा राजन्नुदकस्थस्तवात्मजः। युधिष्ठिरेण राजेन्द्र भ्रातृभिः सहितेन ह॥ श्रुत्वा स कटुका वाचो विषमस्थो नराधिपः। दीर्घमुष्णं च निःश्वस्य सलिलस्थः पुनः पुनः॥ सलिलान्तर्गतो राजा धुन्वन् हस्तौ पुनः पुनः। मनश्चकार युद्धाय राजानं चाभ्यभाषत॥
