damaghoṣasuto dhīraḥ śiśupālo mahāmatiḥ | dhanur ādāyamānas tu jānubhyām agaman mahīm ||

Translation

Sinabi ni Vaiśaṃpāyana: Nang umurong na sa lahat ng panig ang iba pang mga kṣatriya, si Śiśupāla—anak ni Damaghoṣa, matatag at may dakilang pasiya—ay lumapit upang kunin ang busog. Ngunit sa sandaling mahawakan niya ito, siya’y gumuho at lumuhod, bumagsak sa lupa.
