शल्यपर्व — चतुर्विंशोऽध्यायः | Śalya Parva, Chapter 24: Disruption of Kaurava Formations and the Elephant Encirclement
“'जनार्दन! भूरिश्रवा, शल्य, शाल्व तथा अवन्ति देशके वीर मारे गये तो भी यह युद्धकी ज्वाला शान्त न हो सकी ।। जयद्रथे च निहते राक्षसे चाप्यलायुधे । बाह्विके सोमदत्ते च नैवाशाम्यत वैशसम्,“जयद्रथ, बाह्विक, सोमदत्त तथा राक्षस अलायुध--ये सभी परलोकवासी हो गये तो भी यह युद्धकी प्यास न बुझ सकी
sañjaya uvāca— “janārdana! bhūriśravāḥ śalyaḥ śālva tathā avanti-deśake vīrā māritā api, naiva yuddha-jvālā śāntim agamat. jayadrathe ca nihate rākṣase cāpy alāyudhe, bāhvike somadatte ca, naivāśāmyata vaiśasam.”
Sanjaya said: “O Janardana! Though heroes such as Bhurishravas, Shalya, Shalva, and the warrior of the Avanti land have been slain, the blaze of this war has not been quenched. Even after Jayadratha was killed, and the rakshasa Alayudha too, and after Bahvika and Somadatta fell, the violence has not subsided.”
