स तान् प्रमृद्याभ्यपतत् पुनरेव युधिष्ठटिरम् । मन्त्रौषधिक्रियातीतो व्याधिरत्युल्बणो यथा,परंतु मन्त्र और ओषधियोंकी क्रियासे असाध्य भयानक रोगकी भाँति कर्णने उन सबको रौंदकर पुनः युधिष्ठिरपर ही आक्रमण किया
sa tān pramṛdyābhyapatat punar eva yudhiṣṭhiram | mantrauṣadhi-kriyātīto vyādhir atyulbaṇo yathā ||
ສັນຊະຍະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ກັນນະໄດ້ຢ່ຳຢີ້ພວກເຂົາເຈົ້າແລ້ວ ກໍພຸ້ນໄປຫາຢຸດທິສຖິຣະອີກຄັ້ງ—ດັ່ງໂລກຮ້າຍອັນດຸຮ້າຍ ທີ່ພົ້ນຈາກອຳນາດມົນຕຣາ ແລະ ຢາ.

The verse uses a medical simile to show how certain crises feel beyond remedy: relentless violence can appear ‘incurable’ by ordinary means. Ethically, it highlights the testing of dharma under extreme pressure—steadfastness and discernment are demanded when adversity seems unstoppable.
