Shloka 456
Devanagari script
हतस्य कर्तुमिच्छन्ति तस्य लोकान् शृणुष्व मे । युद्धमें मारे गये वीरके लिये उसके आत्मीयजन न तो स्नान करना चाहते हैं, न अशौचसम्बन्धी कृत्यका पालन, न अन्नदान (श्राद्ध) करनेकी इच्छा करते हैं, और न जलदान (तर्पण) करनेकी। उसे जो लोक प्राप्त होते हैं, उन्हें मुझसे सुनो
Translation
Hear from me of the worlds that fall to one who is slain. For the hero killed in war, his own kin do not wish to bathe, nor to observe the rites of aśauca, nor to offer food in śrāddha, nor to pour the water-offering of tarpaṇa.
