Shloka 33
ते पर्वतीया राजान: सर्वे पाषाणयोधिन: । अभ्यद्रवन्त शैनेयं राजानमिव मन्त्रिण:,जैसे मन्त्री राजाके पास जाते हैं, उसी प्रकार वे पाषाणयोधी समस्त पर्वतीय नरेश सात्यकिकी ओर दौड़े
te parvatīyā rājānaḥ sarve pāṣāṇayodhinaḥ | abhyadravanta śaineyaṃ rājānam iva mantriṇaḥ ||
അപ്പോൾ ആ പർവ്വതരാജാക്കന്മാർ എല്ലാവരും—കല്ലെറിഞ്ഞ് യുദ്ധം ചെയ്യുന്നവർ—മന്ത്രിമാർ രാജാവിനരികേ ഓടിയെത്തുന്നതുപോലെ, ശൈനേയൻ (സാത്യകി) നേർക്കു പാഞ്ഞുചെന്നു।
