Transliteration
krośamātram apakrāntaṃ gadāpāṇim avasthitam | ekaṃ duryodhana rājann apaśyaṃ bhṛśavikṣatam ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: “O King, when I had withdrawn about a krośa, I saw Duryodhana standing alone, mace in hand, grievously wounded. Though he had retreated from the press of battle, he remained poised to face what must come—an image of the war’s bitter end, where pride, endurance, and the consequences of adharma converge upon a solitary survivor.”
