Chapter 45
एते द्रुपदपुत्राश्न धृष्टद्युम्नपुरोगमा: । स्फीता: सत्यजितो वीरास्तिष्ठन्ति परमौजस:
ete drupadaputrāś ca dhṛṣṭadyumnapurogamāḥ | sphītāḥ satyajito vīrās tiṣṭhanti paramaujasaḥ ||
शल्य ने कहा—ये द्रुपद के पुत्र, धृष्टद्युम्न के नेतृत्व में, समृद्ध और प्रबल हैं। सत्यजित आदि ये वीर परम ओज से युक्त होकर युद्ध के लिए डटे खड़े हैं।
