संजय उवाच एवमुकक््त्वा ततो द्रोणस्तव पुत्र॑ महाद्युतिम् । पुनरेव वच: प्राह शनैराचार्यपुजड्रव:,संजय कहते हैं--महाराज! वहाँ आपके महातेजस्वी पुत्रसे यह प्रसंग सुनाकर आचार्यशिरोमणि द्रोणने पुनः धीरेसे यह बात कही--
sañjaya uvāca evam uktvā tato droṇas tava putraṁ mahādyutim | punar eva vacaḥ prāha śanair ācārya-pūjitaḥ ||
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ଏପରି କହି, ଆଚାର୍ୟରୂପେ ପୂଜିତ ଦ୍ରୋଣ ତୋର ମହାଦ୍ୟୁତିମାନ ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ପୁନର୍ବାର ଧୀରେ ଧୀରେ ଏହି କଥା କହିଲେ।
