अलंबलवधः (Alaṃbala-vadhaḥ) / The Slaying of Alaṃbala and the Advance toward Karṇa
कुलान्तकरणे पापे जातमात्रे सुयोधने । नीयतां परलोकाय साध्वयं कुलपांसन:
kulāntakaraṇe pāpe jātamātre suyodhane | nīyatāṃ paralokāya sādhv ayaṃ kulapāṃsanaḥ ||
କୁଳାନ୍ତ କରୁଥିବା ଏହି ପାପୀ ସୁଯୋଧନକୁ ଜନ୍ମମାତ୍ରେ ପରଲୋକକୁ ପଠାଇଦେବା ଉଚିତ୍ ଥିଲା; ସେ ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ନିଜ କୁଳର ଧୂଳି ଓ କଳଙ୍କ।
