Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 94: Sātyaki–Sudarśana Yuddha (सात्यकि–सुदर्शन युद्ध)
रथं चान्ये: सुबहुभिश्चक्रे विशकलं शरै: । सुदक्षिणं तं काम्बोजं मोघसंकल्पविक्रमम्
rathaṃ cānyeḥ subahubhiś cakre viśakalaṃ śaraiḥ | sudakṣiṇaṃ taṃ kāmbojaṃ moghasaṅkalpavikramam ||
ಸಂಜಯನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಇತರರೂ ಅನೇಕ ಬಾಣಗಳಿಂದ ಅವನ ರಥವನ್ನೂ ಚಕ್ರಗಳನ್ನೂ ಚೂರುಚೂರಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿದರು. ಸಂಕಲ್ಪವೂ ವಿಕ್ರಮವೂ ವ್ಯರ್ಥವಾಗದ ಆ ಕಾಂಬೋಜ ಸುಧಕ್ಷಿಣನು ಯುದ್ಧದಲ್ಲಿ ತೀವ್ರವಾಗಿ ಒತ್ತಡಕ್ಕೆ ಒಳಗಾದನು.
