Aśvatthāmā’s Lamentation, Vow of Retaliation, and the Manifestation of the Nārāyaṇāstra (द्रोणपर्व, अध्याय १६६)
तस्मात् सर्वात्मना मन्ये भारद्वाजस्य रक्षणम् । सुगुप्त: पाण्डवान् हन्यात् सृञ्जयांश्व ससोमकान्
tasmāt sarvātmanā manye bhāradvājasya rakṣaṇam | suguptaḥ pāṇḍavān hanyāt sṛñjayāṁś ca sasomakān
Sañjaya said: “Therefore, with my whole conviction, I hold that Bhāradvāja’s son must be protected. If he is well-guarded, he will strike down the Pāṇḍavas, and the Sṛñjayas along with the Somakas.”
