युधिष्ठिरने पूछा--पितामह! ये जो असंख्य भूपाल (प्राणशून्य होकर) इस भूतलपर सेनाके बीचमें सो रहे हैं इनकी ओर दृष्टिपात कीजिये। ये महान् बलवान् थे तो भी संज्ञाहीन होकर पड़े हैं

Translation
યુધિષ્ઠિરે કહ્યું— પિતામહ! આ અસંખ્ય ભૂપાલોને જુઓ; પ્રાણશૂન્ય થઈ આ ભૂતલ પર સેનાઓની વચ્ચે પડ્યા છે. તેઓ મહાન અને બળવાન હતા, છતાં હવે સંજ્ઞાહીન થઈ પડ્યા છે।
