तेषां तु प्रमुखे शूंर सुशर्माणं महाबलम्‌ | मध्ये सर्वस्य सैन्यस्य भृशं संहर्षयन्निव,उन नरेशोंके सम्मुख सारी सेनाके बीचमें शूरवीर महाबली सुशर्माको अत्यन्त हर्ष प्रदान करता हुआ-सा दुर्योधन यों बोला--

teṣāṃ tu pramukhe śūra suśarmāṇaṃ mahābalam | madhye sarvasya sainyasya bhṛśaṃ saṃharṣayann iva sañjaya uvāca |

সেই রাজাদের অগ্রভাগে ছিলেন মহাবলী বীর সুশর্মা; আর সমগ্র সেনার মধ্যস্থলে, যেন প্রবল উল্লাস ও যুদ্ধোন্মাদনা জাগিয়ে তুলছেন—দুর্যোধন তেমনই বলল।
