Having scorched the Pandavas with the fire of his weapons, having made a down-pour of arrows and consumed the hostile armies and heated the world like the thousand rayed sun Vaikartana left the world with his sons and followers. Thus perished the hero who was an all-giving tree unto the bird-like suitors.
प्रताप्य पाण्डवान् सर्वान् पञ्चालांश्चास्त्रतेजसा॥ वर्षित्य शरवर्षेण प्रताप्य रिपुवाहिनीम्। श्रीमानिव सहस्रांशुर्जगत् सर्वं प्रताप्य च॥ हतो वैकर्तनः कर्णः सपुत्रः सहवाहनः। अर्थिनां पक्षिसंघस्य कल्पवृक्षो निपातितः॥
