Sanjaya said Beholding the Kuru army afflicted with the fear of Pandu's son sinking like a boat foundered in the ocean, Kritavarma, Kripa, Drona's son, Suta's son, Ulaka, Subala's son Shakuni and the king himself with his brother, came to their rescue.
संजय उवाच कृतवर्मा कृपो द्रौणिः सूतपुत्रश्च मारिष। उलूकः सौबलश्चैव राजा च सह सोदरैः॥ सीदमानां चमूं दृष्ट्वा पाण्डुपुत्रभयार्दिताम्। समुहुः स्म वेगेन भिन्नां नावमिवार्णवे॥
