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 ||
ಪ್ರಜಾನಾಥನೇ! ರಥಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನಾದ ಘಟೋತ್ಕಚನು ಆ ಭಯಾನಕ ರಥದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊರಟು, ಸೂತಪುತ್ರ ಕರ್ಣನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತೆ ದ್ವೈರಥ ಯುದ್ಧಕ್ಕೆ ತೆರಳಿದನು.
