Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 109 — Karṇa–Bhīma Yuddha and Durmukha’s Fall (कर्णभीमयुद्धम्; दुर्मुखवधः)
हाहाकारो महानासीत् त्रिगर्तानां जनेश्वर । राजपुत्रं हतं दृष्टवा निरमित्र॑ं महारथम्,नरेश्वर! महारथी राजकुमार निरमित्रको मारा गया देख त्रिगर्तोंके दलमें महान् हाहाकार मच गया
hāhākāro mahān āsīt trigartānāṁ janeśvara | rājaputraṁ hataṁ dṛṣṭvā niramitraṁ mahāratham ||
قال سانجيا: «يا سيدَ الرجال، لما رأى التريغارتا الأميرَ نيرامِترا—وهو محاربُ عربةٍ عظيمٌ لا نظير له—قد قُتل، ارتفع بينهم عويلٌ عظيمٌ وصراخُ نواح.»
