Devanagari script
हतं तमात्मजं दृष्टवा विराट: प्राद्रवद् भयात् । उत्सृज्य समरे द्रोणं व्यात्ताननमिवान्तकम्,अपने पुत्रको मारा गया देख मुँह बाये हुए कालके समान भयंकर द्रोणाचार्यको समरभूमिमें छोड़कर विराट भयके मारे भाग गये
Transliteration
sañjaya uvāca | hataṃ tam ātmajaṃ dṛṣṭvā virāṭaḥ prādravad bhayāt | utsṛjya samare droṇaṃ vyāttānanaṃ ivāntakam |
Translation
Melihat putranya terbunuh, Raja Virāṭa lari karena takut. Meninggalkan Droṇa di medan laga—mengerikan laksana Maut dengan mulut menganga—ia melarikan diri, dikuasai kepanikan.
