Jayadrathasya śoka-bhaya-vilāpaḥ — Droṇena āśvāsanaṃ ca
Jayadratha’s lament and Droṇa’s reassurance
पुरा कृतयुगे तात आसीद् राजा हाुकम्पन: । स शत्रुवशमापतन्नो मध्ये संग्राममूर्थनि,तात! प्राचीनकालकी बात है, सत्ययुगमें अकम्पन नामसे प्रसिद्ध एक राजा थे। वे युद्धमें शत्रुओंके वशमें पड़ गये
purā kṛtayuge tāta āsīd rājā hy akampanaḥ | sa śatruvaśam āpatan no madhye saṅgrāmamūrdhani tāta ||
Vyāsa said: “In ancient times, dear one, in the Kṛta Yuga there lived a king renowned as Akampana. In the very midst of battle, at the critical height of the fight, he fell under the power of his enemies.”
