Chapter 148: Karṇa’s Pressure, Dhṛṣṭadyumna Unhorsed, and the Summoning of Ghaṭotkaca
शल्यं दुर्योधनं चैव षड़भि: षड़भिरताडयत् | वृषसेनं तथाष्टाभि: षष्ट्या सैन्धवमेव च,उन्होंने कृपाचार्यको बीस, कर्णको पचास तथा शल्य और दुर्योधनको छ:-छ: बाण मारे। साथ ही वृषसेनको आठ और सिंधुराज जयद्रथको साठ बाणोंसे घायल कर दिया
śalyaṃ duryodhanaṃ caiva ṣaḍbhiḥ ṣaḍbhir atāḍayat | vṛṣasenaṃ tathāṣṭābhiḥ ṣaṣṭyā saindhavam eva ca |
ಸಂಜಯನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಅವನು ಶಲ್ಯನನ್ನೂ ದುರ್ಯೋಧನನನ್ನೂ ತಲಾ ಆರು ಬಾಣಗಳಿಂದ ಹೊಡೆದನು. ವೃಷಸೇನನನ್ನು ಎಂಟು ಬಾಣಗಳಿಂದಲೂ, ಸಿಂಧುರಾಜ ಜಯದ್ರಥನನ್ನು ಅರವತ್ತು ಬಾಣಗಳಿಂದಲೂ ವಿದ್ಧಮಾಡಿದನು.
