वातिकांश्चाब्रवीद्राजा पुत्रस्ते सत्यविक्रमः । अधर्माद्भीमसेनेन निहतोऽहं यथा रणे ॥
सोऽहं द्रोणं स्वर्गगतं शल्यकर्णावुभौ तथा । वृषसेनं महावीर्यं शकुनिं चापि सौबलम् ॥
जलसंधं महावीर्यं भगदत्तं च पार्थिवम् । सौमदत्तिं महेष्वासं सैन्धवं च जयद्रथम् ॥
दुःशासनपुरोगांश्च भ्रातॄनात्मसमांस्तथा । दौःशासनिं च विक्रान्तं लक्ष्मणं चात्मजावुभौ ॥
एतांश्चान्यांश्च सुबहून्मदीयांश्च सहस्रशः । पृष्ठतोऽनुगमिष्यामि सार्थहीन इवाध्वगः ॥
कथं भ्रातॄन्हताञ्श्रुत्वा भर्तारं च स्वसा मम । रोरूयमाणा दुःखार्ता दुःशला सा भविष्यति ॥
English Translation
Alas, how shall my sister laden with grief, live sorrowfully, after hearing of the death of her brothers and her husband.

English Translation
Alas, what shall be the condition of the old king, my father, with Gandhari, and his daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law!
नूनं लक्ष्मणमातापि हतपुत्रा हतेश्वरा । विनाशं यास्यति क्षिप्रं कल्याणी पृथुलोचना ॥
English Translation
Forsooth, the beautiful and large-eyed mother of Lakshmana, rendered sonless and husbandless will soon die.
यदि जानाति चार्वाकः परिव्राड्वाग्विशारदः । करिष्यति महाभागो ध्रुवं सोऽपचितिं मम ॥
English Translation
If Charvaka, the mendicant devotee, who is a master of speech, learns everything he will forsooth avenge my death.
समन्तपञ्चके पुण्ये त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्रुते । अहं निधनमासाद्य लोकान्प्राप्स्यामि शाश्वतान् ॥
English Translation
By dying upon the sacred field of Samantapanchaka, celebrated over the three worlds, I shall, forsooth, go to the blessed abode of eternity.'-Then, having heard these lamentations of the king, O sire, thousands of men, with eyes full of tears, fled away in all directions.
ततो जनसहस्राणि बाष्पपूर्णानि मारिष । प्रलापं नृपतेः श्रुत्वा विद्रवन्ति दिशो दश ॥
ससागरवना घोरा पृथिवी सचराचरा । चचालाथ सनिर्ह्रादा दिशश्चैवाविलाभवन् ॥
English Translation
The whole earth, with her forests and seas, with all her mobile and immobile creatures, began to shake and produce a loud noise. All the points of the horizon were covered with darkness.
ते द्रोणपुत्रमासाद्य यथावृत्तं न्यवेदयन् । व्यवहारं गदायुद्धे पार्थिवस्य च घातनम् ॥

तदाख्याय ततः सर्वे द्रोणपुत्रस्य भारत । ध्यात्वा च सुचिरं कालं जग्मुरार्ता यथागतम् ॥
English Translation
Having represented everything to Drona's son, O Bharata, all of them remained in a pensive mood for a long time and then went away, laden with grief, to the places whence they came.
