He wishes to perform the Shraddha of the great son of Ganga, as also of Drona and Somadatta and Vallika of great intelligence, and of all his sons as also of all other wishers of his who have been killed, and, if you permit it, of that wicked king of the Sindhus.
स त्वां कुरुकुलश्रेष्ठ किंचिदर्थमभीप्सति। श्राद्धमिच्छति दातुं स गाङ्गेयस्य महात्मनः॥ द्रोणस्य सोमदत्तस्य बालीकस्य च धीमतः। पुत्राणां चैव सर्वेषां ये चान्ये सुहृदो हताः॥ यदि चाप्यनुजानीषे सैन्धवापसदस्य च।
