Shloka 11
आत्तशस्त्रा रथगता: कुपितास्तात पाण्डवा: । निःशेषं व: करिष्यन्ति क्रुद्धा ह्ााशीविषा इव
āttaśastrā rathagatāḥ kupitās tāta pāṇḍavāḥ | niḥśeṣaṃ vaḥ kariṣyanti kruddhā āśīviṣā iva, tāta ||
Duryodhana memberi amaran: “Para Pāṇḍava, bersenjata dan berada di atas kereta perang, sedang menyala amarahnya. Seperti ular berbisa yang dibangkitkan murka, mereka tidak akan berhenti sehingga memusnahkan seluruh keturunanmu hingga habis!”

Duryodhana, speaking to an elder addressed as 'tāta', warns that the Pāṇḍavas are armed and furious and will annihilate the opposing clan completely, comparing them to enraged venomous snakes.
