The awful ocean has now been crossed over by the sons of Pandu. O great king, although you were told by all your well-wishing friends all this, yet you could not realise before the nature of this calamity, which has not befallen you, bringing about a great slaughter (of your troops).
जयाशा धार्तराष्ट्राणां वैरस्य च मुखं यतः॥ तीर्णस्तत् पाण्डवो राजन् यत् पुरा नावबुध्यसे। उच्यमानो महाराज बन्धुभिर्हितकाटिभिः॥ तदिदं समनुप्राप्तं व्यसनं सुमहात्मययम्।
