त्वरमाणांस्तु तान् सर्वान् ससूतेष्वसनध्वजान् | जघान नवतिं वीरानर्जुनो निशितै: शरै:,सारथि, धनुष और ध्वजसहित उतावलीके साथ आक्रमण करनेवाले उन सभी नब्बे वीरोंको अर्जुनने अपने पैने बाणोंद्वारा मार गिराया
tvaramāṇāṁs tu tān sarvān sasūteṣv asanadhvajān | jaghāna navatiṁ vīrān arjuno niśitaiḥ śaraiḥ ||
ສັນຊະຍະກ່າວວ່າ: ເມື່ອນັກຮົບເຫຼົ່ານັ້ນຮີບຮ້ອນພຸ້ນເຂົ້າມາ—ຍັງມີສາຣະຖີ, ມ້າທີ່ຜູກຮັດແລ້ວ, ແລະທຸງປະຈຳລົດ—ອາຣະຈຸນກໍຍິງດ້ວຍລູກສອນຄົມກະທັ່ງລົ້ມລົງ; ວີຣະບຸລຸດເກົ້າສິບຄົນຕົກຕາຍ.
