स हताश्वे रथे तिष्ठन्‌ मद्राधिपतिरायसीम्‌ । उत्तरान्तकरीं शक्ति चिक्षेप भुजगोपमाम्‌,घोड़ोंके मारे जानेपर भी उसी रथपर बैठे हुए मद्रराज शल्यने लोहेकी बनी हुई एक शक्ति चलायी, जो सर्पके समान भयंकर और राजकुमार उत्तरका अन्त करनेवाली थी

Translation

Sinabi ni Sañjaya: Bagaman napatay na ang kanyang mga kabayo, nanatiling nakatindig sa karwahe ang panginoon ng Madra na si Śalya at inihagis ang isang sibat na bakal—nakapangingilabot na parang ahas—na naglalayong kitlin ang buhay ni Prinsipe Uttara.
