तावकास्ते महारथाः ।
 
तं भूमौ पतितं
मुदा परमया युक्ताश्चक्रुशुस्सिहवन्मुहुः ।
इतरेषां तु वीराणां नेत्रेभ्यः प्रापतज्जलम् ॥
अन्तरिक्षे च भूतानि प्राक्रोशन्त [विशांपते] ।
'द्रोणकर्णमुखैः षड्भिः धार्तराष्ट्रैर्महारथैः ।
एकोऽयं निहतः शेते नैष धर्मो मतो हि नः ॥'
Seeing him fallen on the ground,
 
THE MAHABHARATA
 
those warriors on the side of Dhritarashtra
roared again and again like lions, with
greatest delight; but from the eyes of the
warriors on the Pandavas' side, tears fell.
And in the sky also, (the celestial) beings
cried : "Single, this Abhimanyu lies
killed by six of the great warriors of
Dhritarashtra, by Drona, Karna and others;
this is not considered Dharma by us."
 
हत्वा संशप्तकवातान् दिव्यैरस्त्रैः कपिध्वजः।
प्रायात्स्वशिबिरं जिष्णुजैत्रमास्थाय तं रथम् ॥
 
After killing the multitudes of Samsaptakas
with (his) divine missiles, triumphant Arjuna
went to his tent, riding that victorious
chariot of his.
