Shloka 13
कर्णपर्व — अध्याय ५९
Arjuna Breaks the Encirclement; Bhīma Reinforces
दुर्योधनस्य वीरस्य द्रौणे: शारद्वतस्य च । कर्णस्य चेषुवेगो वै पर्वतानपि शातयेत्,“वीर दुर्योधन, अश्वत्थामा, कृपाचार्य तथा कर्णके बाणोंका वेग पर्वतोंको भी विदीर्ण कर सकता है
duryodhanasya vīrasya drauṇeḥ śāradvatasya ca | karṇasya ceṣu-vego vai parvatān api śātayet ||
三阇耶说道：“勇士难敌、德罗那之子阿湿婆他摩、舍罗陀婆多·克利波，以及迦尔纳，他们的箭速之猛，甚至足以击碎群山。”
