Shloka 37
गोविन्दवाक्यं त्वरितं विचिन्त्य दश्ने मतिं शल्यविनाशनाय । स धर्मराजो निहताश्वसूतो रथे तिष्ठन् शक्तिमेवा भ्यकाड्क्षत्,उस समय श्रीकृष्णके वचनको स्मरण करके उन्होंने शीघ्र ही शल्यको मार डालनेका निश्चय किया। धर्मराजके घोड़े और सारथि तो मारे ही जा चुके थे केवल रथ शेष था; अतः उसीपर खड़े होकर उन्होंने शल्यपर शक्तिके ही प्रयोगका विचार किया
govindavākyaṁ tvaritaṁ vicintya daśne matiṁ śalyavināśanāya | sa dharmarājo nihatāśvasūto rathe tiṣṭhan śaktim evābhyakāṅkṣat ||
忆起瞿文陀（克里希那）之言并迅速思量，法王坚定了毁灭沙利耶的决心。他的战马与御者既已被杀，只剩战车；他立于车上，定意以“沙克提”长枪之器对付沙利耶。
