Translation
Sañjaya berkata: “Dan, wahai putera tuanku, ada pula satu ayuta (sepuluh ribu) kereta perang—lengkap bersenjata dan tersusun rapi—bersama para wira seperti Citrasena, berdiri mengelilingi dan melindungi Sang Datuk Agung. Demikianlah para tua dijaga dengan kekuatan yang berdisiplin, mencerminkan tekad Kuru untuk menegakkan dharma yang mereka pilih dalam perang.”
