धृष्टद्युम्नस्य द्रोणाभिमुख्यं तथा सात्यकि-कर्ण-समागमः
Dhṛṣṭadyumna’s advance toward Droṇa and the Sātyaki–Karṇa confrontation
वर देनेवाले भूरिश्रवाका नीले केशोंसे अलंकृत तथा कबूतरके समान लाल नेत्रोंवाला वह कटा हुआ सिर ऐसा जान पड़ता था, मानो अश्वमेधके मेध्य अश्वका कटा हुआ मस्तक अग्निकुण्डके भीतर रखा गया हो
vara-denevāle bhūriśravā-kā nīla-keśaiḥ sa-alaṅkṛtaḥ tathā kapūta-samaṃ lāla-netraḥ sa chinnaḥ śiraḥ evaṃ jānīyate sma, yathā aśvamedhasya medhya-aśvasya chinnaṃ mastakaṃ agni-kuṇḍasya antar nihitaṃ syāt.
Sañjaya said: The severed head of Bhūriśravas—renowned as a giver of boons—adorned with dark hair and bearing reddish eyes like those of a pigeon, appeared as though the cut head of the consecrated horse of an Aśvamedha sacrifice had been placed within the fire-pit.
