Even if he is at his feet, not to speak of one who dares for stay in battle. O lord, put forth every exertion. And conquer him. O best of the Vrishni race, O hero, do not make any further delay. That one is not to be killed by milder means. In my opinion he can never be a friend who devastated Dvarka and who is now fighting with you." O son of Kunti, hearing such words of my charioteer. And knowing that what he had said was true, I again engaged myself in the fight with the intention of killing Shalva and destroying his Saubha (car).
योऽपि स्यात् पीठगः कश्चित् किं पुनः समरे स्थितः स त्वं पुरुषशार्दूल सर्वयत्नौरिमं प्रभो॥ जहि वृष्णिकुलश्रेष्ठ मा त्वां कालोऽत्यगात् पुनः नैष मार्दवसाध्यो वै मतो नापि सखा तव॥ येन त्वं योधितो वीर द्वारका चावमर्दिता। एवमादि तु कौन्तेय श्रुत्वाहं सारथेर्वचः॥ तत्त्वमेतदिति ज्ञात्वा युद्धे मतिमधारयम्। वधाय शाल्वराजस्य सौभस्य च निपातने॥
