संजय उवाच क्षयं मनुष्यदेहानां गजवाजिरथक्षयम् । शृणु राजन् स्थिरो भूत्वा तवैवापनयो महान्,संजयने कहा--राजन्! उस युद्धमें मानवशरीरोंका भारी संहार हुआ है। हाथी, घोड़े और रथोंका भी विनाश देखा गया है। वह सब आप स्थिर होकर सुनिये। यह आपके ही महान् अन्यायका फल है
Translation
Sañjaya said: “O King, in that war there was a great slaughter of human bodies; elephants, horses, and chariots too were destroyed. Hear it with a steady mind—this is the mighty consequence of your own great injustice.”
