दुःशासननिग्रहः—द्रोणधृष्टद्युम्नयुद्धप्रसङ्गः
Rebuke of Duḥśāsana; Context of the Droṇa–Dhṛṣṭadyumna Combat
ताभ्यां तत्र शरैर्मुक्तिरन्तरिक्षं दिशस्तथा । अभवत् संवृतं सर्व न प्राज्ञायत किंचन,उन दोनों भाइयोंके छोड़े हुए बाणोंसे वहाँ आकाश और दिशाएँ--सब कुछ व्याप्त हो गया। कुछ भी सूझ नहीं पड़ता था
tābhyāṃ tatra śarair muktir antarīkṣaṃ diśas tathā | abhavat saṃvṛtaṃ sarvaṃ na prājñāyata kiṃcana ||
ಆ ಇಬ್ಬರು ಸಹೋದರರು ಬಿಡಿಸಿದ ಬಾಣಗಳಿಂದ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಆಕಾಶವೂ ದಿಕ್ಕುಗಳೂ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಮುಚ್ಚಿಹೋಯಿತು; ಏನೂ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ತಿಳಿಯಲಿಲ್ಲ.
