सुतसोम॑ तु शकुनिर्विद्ध्वा तु निशितै: शरै: । नाकम्पयत संक्रुद्धो वार्योध इव पर्वतम्,दूसरी ओर शकुनि अत्यन्त कुपित हो अपने तीखे बाणोंसे सुतसोमको घायल करके भी उसे विचलित न कर सका। ठीक उसी तरह जैसे जलका प्रवाह पर्वतको नहीं हिला सकता

Sutasomaṁ tu Śakunir viddhvā tu niśitaiḥ śaraiḥ | nākampayata saṁkruddho vāryogha iva parvatam ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Though Śakuni, inflamed with anger, struck Sutasoma with sharp arrows, he could not shake him from his resolve—just as a rushing flood of water cannot move a mountain.
