Shloka 32
तस्यैष मन्युप्रभवो धार्तराष्ट्रस्य दुर्मते: । तपोदग्धशरीरस्य कोपो दहति भारतीम्,“इस दुर्बुद्धि दुर्योधनका शरीर उन्हींकी तपस्यासे दग्धप्राय हो गया है और इसकी भारती सेनाको उन्हींकी क्रोधाग्नि जलाकर भस्म किये देती है
tasyaiṣa manyuprabhavo dhārtarāṣṭrasya durmateḥ | tapodagdhaśarīrasya kopo dahati bhāratīm ||
സഞ്ജയൻ പറഞ്ഞു— “ഇത് ആ ദുർമതിയായ ധൃതരാഷ്ട്രപുത്രന്റെ മന്യുവിൽ നിന്നുയർന്ന കോപമാണ്. തപസ്സാൽ ദഗ്ധമായ ശരീരമുള്ളവനെന്നപോലെ, തന്റെ കോപാഗ്നിയാൽ ഭാരതസേനയെ തന്നെ ദഹിപ്പിക്കുന്നു.”
