Sanjaya said O king, when the greater part of that fearful day passed away, Durmukha, Kritavarma, Kripa, Shalya and Vivingshati, urged by your son, came to Bhishma and began to protect him in that fearful battle which was so destructive of the foremost of men.
संजय उवाच गतपूर्वाह्नभूयिष्ठे तस्मिन्नहनि दारुणे। वर्तमाने तथा रौद्रे महावीरवरक्षये॥ दुर्मुखः कृतवर्मा च कृपः शल्यो विविंशतिः। भीष्मं जुगुपुरासाद्य तव पुत्रेण चोदिताः॥
