सैन्धवं सोमदत्तं च भूरिश्रवसमेव च । “महारथी राजा बाह्लिक
saindhavaṃ somadattaṃ ca bhūriśravasam eva ca | pūrvagatān anyān svarge pārthivasattamān ||
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ସୈନ୍ଧବ (ଜୟଦ୍ରଥ), ସୋମଦତ୍ତ ଏବଂ ଭୂରିଶ୍ରବସଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଆଲିଙ୍ଗନ କର। ଏବଂ ଯେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ପାର୍ଥିବମାନେ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗଲୋକକୁ ଯାଇପହଞ୍ଚିଛନ୍ତି, ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ହୃଦୟପୂର୍ବକ ଆଲିଙ୍ଗନ କରି ତାଙ୍କର କୁଶଳ ପଚାର।

Educational Q&A
Even amid the devastation of war, the text upholds a kṣatriya-coded ethic of honoring the fallen: to remember them respectfully, acknowledge their passage to svarga, and maintain courteous concern rather than hatred alone.
Sañjaya reports a message that includes greeting and embracing notable warriors—Jayadratha (Saindhava), Somadatta, and Bhūriśravas—and extending the same respectful acknowledgment to other kings who have already died and are conceived as residing in heaven.
