DRONA PARVA

"The boy was surrounded by a number
of them and deprived of his chariot; at that
time, Dussasana's son quickly struck him on
the head with his mace. That best among
men attained to heaven in this manner."
 
'ततोऽर्जुनो वचश्श्रुत्वा धर्मराजेन भाषितम् ।
उन्मत्त इव विप्रेक्षन्निदं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥
 
Hearing then these words spoken by
Yudhisthira, Arjuna said these words,
looking wildly like a mad man:

सत्यं वः प्रतिजानामि श्वोऽस्मि हन्ता जयद्रथम् ।'
 
" I swear in truth to you ; I will kill
Jayadratha to-morrow."
 
श्रुत्वा तु तं महाशब्द पाण्डूनां पुत्रगृद्धिनाम् ।
चारैः प्रवेदितस्त्रस्तस्समुत्थाय जयद्रथः ।
दुर्योधनेन सहितो द्रोणं रात्रावुपागमत् ॥
 
Informed by spies who had heard that
huge shout of the Pandavas who loved
their son (Abhimanyu), Jayadratha rose up
and, along with Duryodhana, came to
Drona in the night.
