जयं मत्वा विपुलं वै त्वदीया- स्तलान्‌ निजष्नु: सिंहनादांश्व नेदु:

Transliteration

jayaṁ matvā vipulaṁ vai tvadīyās talān nijaṣṇuḥ siṁhanādāṁś ca neduḥ

Translation

Sañjaya berkata: Mengira kemenangan besar sudah pasti, para prajuritmu menabuh genderang perang dan mengaumkan pekik laga laksana singa. Mabuk oleh bayangan kejayaan, mereka bukan menahan diri, melainkan memaklumkan keyakinan yang disertai keangkuhan—pertanda bagaimana kesombongan dapat menggelora di tengah keraguan dharma dalam perang.
