ये भीमसेनं संक्रुद्धमन्वधावन्‌ विमोहिता: । मेरे जो मन्दबुद्धि पुत्र मोहित होकर क्रोधमें भरे हुए भीमसेनकी ओर दौड़े थे, वे पतंगोंके समान मानो आगमें ही कूद पड़े थे

Transliteration

ye bhīmasenaṁ saṁkruddham anvadhāvan vimohitāḥ | mama ye mandabuddhi-putrā mohitāḥ krodha-bhareṇa bhīmasenasyābhimukhaṁ drutam anvadhāvan, te pataṅgā iva vahnim eva prapetire ||

Translation

Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: “Those of my dull-witted sons who, deluded, ran after Bhīmasena when he was inflamed with wrath—rushing straight toward him—seemed like moths plunging into fire. Blinded by anger and confusion, they chose a self-destructive course in the midst of war.”
