Shloka 47
सोअन्यत् कार्मुकमादाय पार्षत: परवीरहा । द्रोणस्य मिषतो युद्धे प्रेषयामास सायकान्,तब शत्रुवीरोंका संहार करनेवाले धृष्टद्युम्नने दूसरा धनुष लेकर रणभूमिमें द्रोणाचार्यके देखते-देखते उनके ऊपर बहुत-से बाण चलाये
so 'nyat kārmukam ādāya pārṣataḥ paravīrahā | droṇasya miṣato yuddhe preṣayāmāsa sāyakān ||
तेव्हा शत्रुवीरांचा संहार करणाऱ्या पार्षतपुत्र धृष्टद्युम्नाने दुसरे धनुष्य उचलले आणि रणात द्रोणाचार्य पाहत असतानाच त्यांच्यावर अनेक बाण सोडले.
