Shloka 27
उभौ श्वेतहयौ राजन् रथप्रवरवाहिनौ । सारथी प्रवरौ चैव तयोरास्तां महारणे,“राजन! दोनोंके घोड़े सफेद रंगके थे। दोनों ही श्रेष्ठ रथपर सवार थे और उस महासमरमें दोनोंके सारथि श्रेष्ठ पुरुष थे
ubhau śvetahayau rājan rathapravaravāhinau | sārathī pravarau caiva tayor āstāṃ mahāraṇe ||
संजय म्हणाला—राजन्! दोघांचे घोडे शुभ्र होते, दोघेही श्रेष्ठ रथांवर आरूढ होते; आणि त्या महासमरात दोघांचे सारथीही अतिशय कुशल होते.
