Dhanañjaya-viraha-śoka and the Resolve to Enter Gandhamādana (धनंजय-विरह-शोकः गन्धमादन-प्रवेश-संकल्पश्च)
तस्य दर्शनतृष्णं मां सानुजं वनमास्थितम् । याज्ञसेन्या: परामर्श: स च वीर दहत्युत,उसीके दर्शनकी प्यास लेकर मैं भाइयोंसहित इस वनमें आया हूँ। वीर भीमसेन! दुःशासनने जो द्रौपदीके केश पकड़ लिये थे, वह घटना याद आकर मुझे और भी शोकसे दग्ध कर देती है
tasya darśana-tṛṣṇaṁ māṁ sānujaṁ vanam āsthitam | yājñasenyāḥ parāmarśaḥ sa ca vīra dahaty uta ||
