O Dhananjaya, he had heard before that his father Jayadratha had been killed by you, o sinless one. Exceedingly afflicted with grief at this, and hearing of your arrival here as the follower and protector of this sacrificial horse, he at once fell down and gave up his life. Indeed, deeply afflicted with grief, as he was, as soon as he heard of your arrival, he gave up his life seeing him prostrate on the Earth, O lord, o took his intent son with me and have come to you, seeking your protection. Having said these words, the daughter of Dhritarashtra began to lament in deep sorrow.
स पूर्वं पितरं श्रुत्वा हतं युद्धे त्वयाऽनघ॥ त्वामागतं च संश्रुत्य युद्धाय हयसारिणम्। पितुश्च मृत्युदुःखार्तोऽजहात् प्राणान् धनंजय॥ प्राप्तो वीभत्सुरित्येव नाम श्रुत्वैव तेऽनघ। विषादातः पपातो। ममार च ममात्मजः॥ तं दृष्ट्वा पतितं तत्र ततस्तस्यात्मजं प्रभो। गृहीत्वा समनुप्राप्ता त्वामद्य शरणैषिणी॥ इत्युक्त्वाऽऽर्तस्वरं सा तु मुमोच धृतराष्ट्रजा।
