SALYA PARVA
युधिष्ठिरस्तु मद्रेशमभ्यधावदमर्पितः ।
तत्रार्य मृदुर्दान्तो यत्तदा दारुणोऽभवत् ॥
Infuriated, Yudhisthira
attacked Salya,
the king of the Madras. What a wonder
there the soft and subdued Yudhisthira
became fierce at that time !
ततस्तु शक्ति सुभृशं ससर्ज
वधाय मद्राधिपतेस्तदानीम् ॥
At that time then, Yudhisthira flung his
pike very forcibly for killing the king of
the Madras.
ततो निपतितस्सोऽभूदिन्द्रध्वज इवोच्छ्रितः ॥
Then Salya fell, like the lofty banner of
Indra.
समेत्य समरे [ राजन् ] हतशेषास्सुतास्तव ।
भीमसेनमभिद्रुत्य रुरुधुस्सर्वतो दिशम् ॥
The remaining sons of Dhritarashtra joined
together in the battle and rushing against
Bhima, besieged (him ) from all sides.
