Sunset Vow and Curse-Condition
अद्य द्रक्ष्यन्ति मे वीर्य कौरवा: ससुयोधना: । मुण्डानीके हते सूत सर्वसैन्येषु चासकृत्,आज दुर्योधनसहित समस्त कौरव मेरा पराक्रम देखेंगे। सूत! आज इन सिरमुण्डोंके मारे जाने तथा अन्य सारी सेनाओंका बारंबार विनाश होनेपर युद्धस्थलमें छिन्न-भिन्न होती हुई कौरव-सेनाका नाना प्रकारसे आर्तनाद सुनकर दुर्योधनको बड़ा संताप होगा
adya drakṣyanti me vīryaṃ kauravāḥ sa-suyodhanāḥ | muṇḍānīke hate sūta sarva-sainyeṣu cāsakṛt ||
Sūta said: “Today the Kauravas, together with Suyodhana (Duryodhana), shall witness my prowess. O charioteer, when Muṇḍānīka is slain and when, again and again, destruction is wrought among all the armies, the Kaurava host will be torn apart on the battlefield; hearing its many kinds of cries of anguish, Duryodhana will be seized by intense grief.”
