Droṇanidhana-anantaraṃ sainya-viṣādaḥ and Karṇa-pravṛttiḥ
After Droṇa’s fall: army despondency and Karṇa’s advance
मत्पुत्रस्य च शेषस्य तथान्येषां च संजय । विप्रद्रुतेष्वनीकेषु मुखवर्णो5भवत् कथम्,संजय! जब सारी सेनाएँ भाग गयीं, तब दुर्योधन, कर्ण, भोजवंशी कृतवर्मा, मद्रराज शल्य, द्रोणकुमार अश्वत्थामा, कृपाचार्य, मरनेसे बचे हुए मेरे पुत्र तथा अन्य लोगोंके मुखकी कान्ति कैसी हो गयी थी?
matputrasya ca śeṣasya tathānyeṣāṃ ca sañjaya | vipradruteṣv anīkeṣu mukhavarṇo 'bhavat katham, sañjaya ||
