धृष्टद्युम्नस्य द्रोणाभिमुख्यं तथा सात्यकि-कर्ण-समागमः
Dhṛṣṭadyumna’s advance toward Droṇa and the Sātyaki–Karṇa confrontation
अपूजयन्त त॑ देवा विस्मितास्ते5स्य कर्मभि: । युद्धमें प्रायोपवेशन करनेवाले, इन्द्रके समान पराक्रमी भूरिश्रवाको मारा गया देख सिद्ध, चारण, मनुष्य और देवताओंने उनका गुणगान किया; क्योंकि वे भूरिश्रवाके कर्मोंसे आश्चर्यचकित हो रहे थे
apūjayanta taṁ devā vismitās te ’sya karmabhiḥ |
Sañjaya berkata: “Para dewa memuliakannya, hairan akan perbuatannya. Melihat Bhūriśravas—pahlawan gagah seperti Indra—terbunuh ketika ia telah menjalani puasa hingga mati di medan perang, para Siddha, Cāraṇa, manusia dan para dewa memuji kebajikannya, kerana mereka terpukau oleh kebesaran tindak-tanduknya.”

Educational Q&A
Even amid the violence of war, extraordinary self-restraint and steadfastness to a chosen vow can be regarded as morally weighty; such conduct becomes worthy of reverence and remembrance, independent of victory or defeat.
Sañjaya reports that after Bhūriśravas is slain while undertaking prāyopaveśana on the battlefield, celestial beings (Siddhas, Cāraṇas) along with humans and gods extol him, amazed at the greatness of his deeds.
