कर्णपर्व — अध्याय ५७
Arjuna’s targeted advance; Śalya–Karṇa dialogue; interception attempts
Devanagari script
जल पीत्वा मृतान् पश्य पिबतो<न््यांश्व॒ मारिष,'श्रेष्ठ वीर अर्जुन! उधर देखो, कुछ लोग पानी पीकर मर गये और कुछ लोग पीते-पीते ही अपने प्राण खो बैठे। कितने ही बान्धवजनोंके प्रेमी सैनिक अपने प्रिय बान्धवोंको छोड़कर उस महासमरमें जहाँ-तहाँ प्राणशून्य हुए दिखायी देते हैं
Translation
Sanjaya said: O Arjuna, foremost of heroes, look there: some died after drinking water, and some lost their lives even as they drank. Many soldiers, bound by love for their kin, left their beloved behind and are seen here and there, lifeless, upon that great battlefield.
