SALYA PARVA
एको दुर्योधनो [ राजन् ] अदृश्यत भृशं क्षतः ॥
All the eleven Akshauhinis that had
collected (on Duryodhana's side) were killed ;
one solitary individual was seen (then),
Duryodhana, who was severely wounded.
अपयाने मनश्चक्रे विहीनबलवाहनः ।
गदामादाय तेजस्वी पदातिः प्रस्थितो
Bereft of army and conveyances, he made
up his mind to flee; taking his mace, the
powerful Duryodhana started on foot to
the (Dvaipayana) lake.
सस्मार वचनं क्षत्तुर्धर्मशीलस्य धीमतः ।
इदं नूनं महाप्रा
महद्
एवं विचिन्तयानस्तु प्राविशत्तं महा
He thought of the words of the righteous
and wise Vidura. "This great disaster to
us and to all the Kshatriyas, surely
the very wise Vidura foresaw long ago."
So thinking, he entered the big lake.
