Translation

Vaiśampāyana dit : Bhūriśravas, Somadatta et le vieux roi Bāhlīka—avec Karṇa, Śakuni le joueur, et Duḥśāsana ainsi que les autres frères—ces joyaux de la lignée des Kuru, montés sur des chars de maintes formes, sur de nobles chevaux et sur des éléphants seigneuriaux, s’avancèrent derrière Duryodhana. Ô Janamejaya, en peu de temps ils entrèrent tous dans leur capitale, Hastināpura.
