THE MAHABHARATA
"Troubled by Drona, we could
not even look at Drona's
army in the
battle; how could we break ( its array ) ?
'ततस्तमप्रतिरथमहं सौभद्रमब्रवम् ।
द्रोणानीकमिदं भिन्धि द्वारं सञ्जनयस्व नः ॥
"Then told that unrivalled Abhimanyu :
Break this array of Drona's army and
make a way for us to enter.'
'स तवास्त्रोपदेशेन वीर्येण प्राविशद्वलम् ।
तेऽनुयाता वयं वीरं सात्वतीपुत्रमाहवे ॥
"With your teachings in missiles and
with his heroism, Abhimanyu broke into
(Drona's) army and we followed that
heroic son of Subhadra in the battle.
'ततस्सैन्धवकः क्षुद्रः सर्वान्नस्समवारयत् ॥
"Then the mean and petty king of the
Sindhus, (Jayadratha), stopped us all.
'परिवार्य तु तैर्बालो बहुभिर्विरथीकृतः ।
ततो दौश्शासनिः क्षिप्रं गदया मूर्ध्यताडयत् ।
स चैवं पुरुषव्याघ्रः स्वर्गलोकमवाप्तवान् ॥
