Alāyudha’s Resolve to Confront Bhīma
Devanagari script
दिष्ट्या द्रोणोजित: संख्ये हार्दिक्यश्च महाबल:,“हमारे सौभाग्यसे ही आचार्य द्रोण और महाबली कृतवर्मा युद्धमें परास्त हो गये। भाग्यसे ही कर्ण भी तुम्हारे बाणोंद्वारा रणक्षेत्रमें पराभवको पहुँच गया। नरश्रेष्ठ वीरो! तुम दोनोंने राजा शल्यको भी युद्धसे विमुख कर दिया
Translation
Sañjaya said: “By good fortune, the preceptor Droṇa and the mighty Kṛtavarmā have been defeated in battle. By fate as well, Karṇa has been brought to ruin on the field by your arrows. O best of heroes among men! You two have even turned King Śalya away from the fight.”
