स ययौ घोररूपेण रथेन रथिनां वर: । द्वैरथं सूतपुत्रेण पुनरेव विशाम्पते,प्रजानाथ! ऐसा कहकर रथियोंमें श्रेष्ठ घटोत्कच पुनः: उस भयंकर रथके द्वारा सूतपुत्र कर्णके साथ द्वैरथ युद्ध करनेके लिये गया
sa yayau ghorarūpeṇa rathena rathināṃ varaḥ | dvairathaṃ sūtaputreṇa punar eva viśāmpate ||
হে প্ৰজানাথ! ৰথীসকলৰ শ্ৰেষ্ঠ ঘটোৎকচ সেই ভয়ংকৰ ৰথত উঠি সূতপুত্ৰ কৰ্ণৰ সৈতে পুনৰায় দ্বৈৰথ যুদ্ধ কৰিবলৈ গ’ল।
