Shloka 95
स ययौ घोररूपेण रथेन रथिनां वर: । द्वैरथं सूतपुत्रेण पुनरेव विशाम्पते,प्रजानाथ! ऐसा कहकर रथियोंमें श्रेष्ठ घटोत्कच पुनः: उस भयंकर रथके द्वारा सूतपुत्र कर्णके साथ द्वैरथ युद्ध करनेके लिये गया
sa yayau ghorarūpeṇa rathena rathināṃ varaḥ | dvairathaṃ sūtaputreṇa punar eva viśāmpate ||
サンジャヤは語った。民の主よ、かくして車戦の勇者の中でも最上の者は、その恐るべき戦車に乗り、スータの子カルナと再び車と車の一騎討ちをなすため、ふたたび進み出た。
