ninādayanto vasudhāṃ diśaś ca; svanena sarve dviṣato nijaghnuḥ
|

abhīrujuṣṭaṃ hatadehasaṃkulaṃ; raṇājiraṃ lohitaraktam ābabhau

diśaś ca sainyaṃ ca śitair ajihmagaiḥ; parasparaṃ prorṇuvatuḥ sma daṃśitau

narāśvanāgān amitau nijaghnatuḥ; parasparaṃ jaghnatur uttameṣubhiḥ
|

sanāgapattyaśvarathā diśo gatās; tathā yathā siṃhabhayād vanaukasaḥ

mahārathāḥ pañca dhanaṃjayācyutau; śaraiḥ śarīrāntakarair atāḍayan

dhanūṃṣi teṣām iṣudhīn hayān dhvajān; rathāṃś ca sūtāṃś ca dhanaṃjayaḥ śaraiḥ
samaṃ ca ciccheda parābhinac ca tāñ; śarottamair dvādaśabhiś ca sūtajam

hayāṃś ca nāgāṃś ca rathāṃś ca yudhyatāṃ; dhanaṃjayaḥ śatrugaṇaṃ tam akṣiṇot

nipetur apy uttamapuṣpavṛṣṭayaḥ; surūpagandhāḥ pavaneritāḥ śivāḥ

tavātmajaḥ sūtasutaś ca na vyathāṃ; na vismayaṃ jagmatur ekaniścayau

ahaṃ tv avadhyo mama cāpi mātulaḥ; praśādhi rājyaṃ saha pāṇḍavaiś ciram
|

yudhiṣṭhiro bhūtahite sadā rato; vṛkodaras tadvaśagas tathā yamau
|

vrajantu śeṣāḥ svapurāṇi pārthivā; nivṛttavairāś ca bhavantu sainikāḥ
|
| 24 | na ced vacaḥ śroṣyasi me narādhipa; dhruvaṃ prataptāsi hato 'ribhir yudhi
idaṃ ca dṛṣṭaṃ jagatā saha tvayā; kṛtaṃ yad ekena kirīṭamālinā
yathā na kuryād balabhinna cāntako; na ca pracetā bhagavān na yakṣarāṭ
|

tavānuyātrāṃ ca tathā kariṣyati; prasīda rājañ jagataḥ śamāya vai

nivārayiṣyāmi hi karṇam apy ahaṃ; yadā bhavān sapraṇayo bhaviṣyati
|

pratāpataś copanataṃ caturvidhaṃ; tad asti sarvaṃ tvayi pāṇḍaveṣu ca
|

tvayi prasanne yadi mitratām iyur; dhruvaṃ narendrendra tathā tvam ācara

yathā bhavān āha sakhe tathaiva tan; mamāpi ca jñāpayato vacaḥ śṛṇu
|

vṛkodaras tad dhṛdaye mama sthitaṃ; na tatparokṣaṃ bhavataḥ kutaḥ śamaḥ
|
| 31 | na cāpi karṇaṃ guruputra saṃstavād; upāramety arhasi vaktum acyuta
śrameṇa yukto mahatādya phalgunas; tam eṣa karṇaḥ prasabhaṃ haniṣyati
|
| 32 | tam evam uktvābhyanunīya cāsakṛt; tavātmajaḥ svān anuśāsti sainikān
samāghnatābhidravatāhitān imān; sabāṇaśabdān kim u joṣam āsyate
