Jayaḥ Satyavrataś caiva Purumitraś ca Bhārata | Vaiśyāputro Yuyutsuś caiva ekādaśa mahārathāḥ ||
Wika ni Dāśa: “O Bhārata, ito ang labing-isang dakilang mandirigmang karwahe sa hanay ng mga anak at kapanalig ni Dhṛtarāṣṭra—sina Duryodhana, Duḥśāsana, Duḥsaha, Durmarṣaṇa, Vikarṇa, Citraseṇa, Viviṁśati, Jaya, Satyavrata, Purumitra, at si Yuyutsu, ang anak na isinilang sa isang babaeng Vaiśyā.”
