The Fall of Duryodhana and the Contest of Restraint
Devanagari script
स पपात नरव्याप्रो वसुधामनुनादयन् । भग्नोरुर्भीमसेनेन पुत्रस्तव महीपते,पृथ्वीनाथ! इस प्रकार जब भीमसेनने उसकी जाँघें तोड़ डालीं, तब आपका पुत्र पुरुषसिंह दुर्योधन पृथ्वीको प्रतिध्वनित करता हुआ गिर पड़ा
Transliteration
sa papāta naravyāghro vasudhām anunādayan | bhagnorur bhīmasenena putras tava mahīpate pṛthvīnātha |
Translation
Then the tiger among men—your son Duryodhana—fell to the ground, making the earth resound. His thighs had been shattered by Bhīmasena, and thus, O king, O lord of the earth, he collapsed—an image of how pride and adharma, even when backed by royal power, meet their destined end on the battlefield.
