Translation

Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Pagkatapos, ang anak ni Kuntī, sa mabilis at tiyak na pagkilos, ay paulit-ulit na pinana ang kanyang watawat. Sa gayunding biglang salakay, malubha rin niyang nasugatan ang mga kabayo ng karwahe, ang mga bantay sa magkabilang gilid, at ang mismong sarathi (tagapagmaneho).
