भीष्मशिबिरगमनम् — Duryodhana’s Visit to Bhīṣma’s Camp and the Command Appeal
तदनीकमनीकेन समरे वीक्ष्य पातितम्,अपनी सेनाको समरभूमिमें शत्रुकी सेनाद्वारा मार गिरायी गयी देख सुबलके सभी पुत्र इसे सह न सके। उन्होंने इरावानूपर धावा करके उसे सब ओरसे घेर लिया
tad anīkam anīkena samare vīkṣya pātitam, apanī senā ko samarabhūmim̐ me śatrukī senādvārā māra girāyī gayī dekh subalake sabhī putra ise saha na sake. unhoṃne irāvānopar dhāvā karke use sab orase ghera liyā.
サンジャヤは言った。自軍の隊が戦場で敵軍に討ち倒されるのを見て、スバラの息子たちは皆それに耐えられなかった。彼らはイラーヴァーンに突進し、四方から取り囲んだ。
