द्वन्द्वयुद्धं करिष्यामि निश्चित्य युयुधे नृप । स कृष्णेन पदाक्षिप्तः पतितः पृथिवीतले
dvandvayuddhaṃ kariṣyāmi niścitya yuyudhe nṛpa | sa kṛṣṇena padākṣiptaḥ patitaḥ pṛthivītale
“Aku akan bertarung secara duel,” tekadnya, wahai Raja, lalu dia pun menyerang. Namun dipukul oleh tendangan kaki Kṛṣṇa, dia rebah jatuh ke bumi.
