Shloka 15
मया विश्राविते वाक््ये जहास धृतराष्ट्रज: । अथ भीष्म: सुसंक्रुद्ध इदं वचनमब्रवीत्,मैंने जब अपनी बात दुर्योधनसे सुनायी, तब वह हँसने लगा। यह देख भीष्मजी अत्यन्त कुपित हो उससे इस प्रकार बोले--
mayā viśrāvite vākye jahāsa dhṛtarāṣṭrajaḥ | atha bhīṣmaḥ susaṃkruddha idaṃ vacanam abravīt |
Nang maiparating ang aking mensahe, biglang tumawa nang malakas ang anak ni Dhṛtarāṣṭra. Nang makita ito, si Bhīṣma ay nag-alab sa galit at nagsalita sa kanya ng mga salitang ganito.
