THE MAHABHARATA
 
तदाचार्य वचश्श्रुत्वा कर्णो वैकर्तनस्त्वरन् ।

अस्यतो लघुद्दस्तस्य पृष्ठतो धनुरच्छिनत् ।

अश्वानस्यावधीद् द्वांरोणो गौतमः पार्ष्णिसारथी॥

त्वरमाणास्त्वराकाले विरथं षण्महारथाः ।

शरवर्षैरकरुणा वाबालमेकमवाकिरन् ॥
 

Hearing those words of the preceptor,

Karna, son of the sun-god, hastened and

cut from behind the bow of Ahhimanyu,

who was throwing shafts with a swift hand.

Drona killed his horses; Kripa killed the

two side charioteers. Hurrying at that

time which demanded quick action, those

six great warriors mounted on their

chariots, devoid of mercy, strewed over

with showers of arrows a boy, who was

without his chariot and alone.
 

 
खड्गचर्मधरश्श्रीमानुत्पपाता र्जुनिर्भृशम् ।

स पुनश्चक्रमुद्यम्य द्रोणं क्रुद्धोऽभ्यधावत ।

महारथस्ततः कार्पिणःष्णिः स जग्राह महागदाम् ।

शराचिताङ्गस्सौभद्रः श्वाविद्वत्समदृश्यत ॥
