Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 2: Karṇa’s lament, vow, and battle preparation after Bhīṣma’s fall
प्रवर्तमाने तु पुनर्महाहवे विगाह्यमानासु चमूषु पार्थिव: । अथाब्रवीद्धर्षकरं तदा वचो रथर्षभान् सर्वमहारथर्षभ:
pravartamāne tu punar mahāhave vigāhyamānāsu camūṣu pārthivaḥ | athābravīd dharṣakaraṃ tadā vaco ratharṣabhān sarva-mahāratharṣabhaḥ ||
ສັນຊະຍະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ເມື່ອສົງຄາມໃຫຍ່ເລີ່ມຂຶ້ນອີກຄັ້ງ ແລະກອງທັບທັງຫຼາຍພຸ້ນເຂົ້າປະສານກັນ, ພຣະຣາຊາໄດ້ກ່າວຄຳທີ່ປຸກໃຈໃຫ້ກ້າຫານ—ເອີ້ນເຖິງບັນດານັກຮົບລົດສຶກຜູ້ເປັນເລີດ, ພຣະອົງຜູ້ເປັນຍອດໃນບັນດາມະຫາວີຣະຊົນທັງປວງ.
