Seeing those car-warriors of the Kaurava army and knowing that the king, reluctant to fight, was living within the waters and hearing that conversation between those heroes and their chief living within the depth of the lake, O king, they clearly understood that it was Duryodhana who was staying within the lake and was firm in his resolution.
तांस्तथा समुदीक्ष्याथ कौरवाणां महारथान्। अयुद्धमनसं चैव राजानं स्थितमम्भसि॥ तेषां श्रुत्वा च संवादं राजश्च सलिले सतः। व्याधाभ्यजानन् राजेन्द्र सलिलस्थं सुयोधनम्॥
