अशीत्या निशितैर्बाणैस्ततोऽक्रोशन्त तावकाः। तेषां तु निनदं श्रुत्वा सहितानां प्रहृष्टवत्॥ प्रविवेश ततो मध्यं नरसिंहः प्रतापवान्। तेषां महारथानां स मध्यं प्राप्य धनंजयः॥ चिक्रीड धनुषा राजैल्लक्षं कृत्वा महारथान्। ततो दुर्योधनो राजा भीष्ममाह जनेश्वरः॥ पीड्यमानं स्वकं सैन्यं दृष्ट्वा पार्थेन संयुगे। एष पाण्डुसुतस्तात कृष्णेन सहितो बली॥ यततां सर्वसैन्यानां मूलं नः परिकृन्तति। त्वयि जीवति गाङ्गेय द्रोणे च रथिनां वरे॥
