|
| 1 | hataṃ bhīṣmam ādhirathir viditvā; bhinnāṃ nāvam ivātyagādhe kurūṇām
sodaryavad vyasanāt sūtaputraḥ; saṃtārayiṣyaṃs tava putrasya senām
|
| 2 | śrutvā tu karṇaḥ puruṣendram acyutaṃ; nipātitaṃ śāṃtanavaṃ mahāratham
athopāyāt tūrṇam amitrakarśano; dhanurdharāṇāṃ pravaras tadā vṛṣaḥ
|
| 3 | hate tu bhīṣme rathasattame parair; nimajjatīṃ nāvam ivārṇave kurūn
piteva putrāṃs tvarito 'bhyayāt tataḥ; saṃtārayiṣyaṃs tava putrasya senām

astrāṇi divyāny atha saṃnatir hrīḥ; priyā ca vāg anapāyīni bhīṣme
|

sūryodaye ko hi vimuktasaṃśayo; bhāvaṃ kurvītādya mahāvrate hate

parājiteṣu bharateṣu durmanāḥ; karṇo bhṛśaṃ nyaśvasad aśru vartayan
|
