Droṇa-parva
Devanagari script
उन दोनों भाइयोंके शरीर उनके बन्धुजनोंके लिये अत्यन्त प्रिय थे। वे अपने पवित्र यशको दसों दिशाओंमें फैलाकर रथसे भूतलपर गिरे और वहीं स्थिर हो गये ।। दृष्टवा विनिहतौ संख्ये मातुलावपलायिनौ । भृशं मुमुचुरश्रूणि पुत्रास्तव विशाम्पते,प्रजानाथ! युद्धसे पीठ न दिखानेवाले अपने दोनों मामाओंको युद्धमें मारा गया देख आपके सभी पुत्र अपने नेत्रोंसे आँसुओंकी अत्यन्त वर्षा करने लगे
