Shloka 12
ततः कालेन महता सावित्र्या: कीर्तिवर्धनम् । तद् वै पुत्रशतं जज्ञे शूराणामनिवर्तिनाम्,तदनन्तर दीर्घकालके पश्चात् सावित्रीके गर्भसे उसकी कीर्ति बढ़ानेवाले सौ पुत्र उत्पन्न हुए। वे सब-के-सब शूरवीर तथा संग्राममें कभी पीछे न हटनेवाले थे
tataḥ kālena mahatā sāvitrīyāḥ kīrtivardhanam | tad vai putraśataṃ jajñe śūrāṇām anivartinām ||
यानंतर बराच काळ गेल्यावर, सावित्रीची कीर्ती वाढविणारे शंभर पुत्र तिला झाले—सर्वच शूर, रणांगणात कधीही मागे न हटणारे।
