यथा सिंहस्य नदतः स्वनं श्रुत्वेतरे मृगा: । त्रसेयुनिनिदं श्रुत्वा तथासीदत तद्धलम्,जैसे गर्जते हुए सिंहकी आवाज सुनकर दूसरे वन्य पशु भयभीत हो जाते हैं, उसी प्रकार उन दोनोंका शंखनाद सुनकर कौरवसेनाका उत्साह शिथिल पड़ गया--वह खिन्न-सी हो गयी

yathā siṁhasya nadataḥ svanaṁ śrutvetare mṛgāḥ | traseyur ninidaṁ śrutvā tathāsīdat tad balam ||
Translation
جس طرح دھاڑتے ہوئے شیر کی آواز سن کر جنگل کے دوسرے جانور لرز اٹھتے ہیں، اسی طرح اس گرج دار شنکھ ناد کو سن کر کوروؤں کی فوج کا حوصلہ ڈھیلا پڑ گیا اور وہ دل شکستہ ہو گئی۔
