कर्णपुत्रवधः (The Fall of Vṛṣasena) — Karṇa Parva, Adhyāya 62
उत्तरं चास्य वै शूरश्नक्रं रक्षति सात्यकि: । धृष्टद्युम्नस्तथा चास्य चक्र रक्षति दक्षिणम्
uttaraṃ cāsya vai śūraś cakraṃ rakṣati sātyakiḥ | dhṛṣṭadyumnas tathā cāsya cakraṃ rakṣati dakṣiṇam ||
ಅವನ ಉತ್ತರ ಚಕ್ರವನ್ನು ಶೂರನಾದ ಸಾತ್ಯಕಿ ಕಾಪಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದನು; ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಧೃಷ್ಟದ್ಯುಮ್ನನು ಅವನ ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಚಕ್ರವನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದನು।
