भीमसेन–अलायुधयुद्धम् / Bhīmasena and Alāyudha: Night Engagement and Command Responses
तेषां गत्वाहमानृण्यमद्य शक्त्या परंतप । तर्पयिष्यामि तानेव जलेन यमुनामनु,शत्रुओंके संताप देनेवाले आचार्य! जो युद्धसे विमुख न होनेवाले शूरवीर सुहृद् मेरे लिये जूझते और मेरे शत्रुओंको जीतनेके लिये यथाशक्ति पूरी चेष्टा करते हुए मारे गये हैं, उनका अपनी शक्तिभर ऋण उतारकर आज मैं यमुनाके जलसे उन सभीका तर्पण करूँगा
teṣāṁ gatvāham ānṛṇyam adya śaktyā parantapa | tarpayiṣyāmi tān eva jalena yamunām anu ||
“O scorcher of foes, today I shall go and, to the best of my ability, discharge my debt to those men. Following the Yamunā, I will offer them the water-oblations—those very warriors, my well-wishing friends, who did not turn away from battle, who fought for my sake, and who, striving with all their strength to conquer my enemies, have been slain.”
