Śalya’s Objection to Sārathya and Duryodhana’s Conciliation (शल्यमन्यु-प्रशमनम् / Sārathyāṅgīkāra)
त॑ विजित्याथ कर्णोडपि पज्चालांस्त्वरितो ययौ | रथेनातिपताकेन चन्द्रवर्णहयेन च
taṁ vijityātha karṇo 'pi pāñcālāṁs tvarito yayau | rathenātipatākena candravarṇahayena ca ||
三阇耶说道：就这样击败那俱罗之后，迦尔那也立刻疾驰向般遮罗军而去，乘着高旌大纛之车，月色般洁白的骏马牵引——在胜利之后仍以无情的势头推动战局向前。
