निवृत्तेषु च सैन्येषु पारम्पर्येण सर्वश: । निर्मुक्तकवचा: सर्वे भीष्ममीयुर्नराधिपा:,बारी-बारीसे सब सेनाओंके युद्धसे निवृत्त हो जाने-पर सब राजा कवच खोलकर भीष्मके पास आये
nivṛtteṣu ca sainyeṣu pāramparyeṇa sarvaśaḥ | nirmuktakavacāḥ sarve bhīṣmam īyur narādhipāḥ ||
Sañjaya said: When the armies had, in due succession, all withdrawn from the fighting, the kings—having removed their armor—went to Bhīṣma.
