Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Drona Parva Chapter 10 · Verse 54
Sanskrit Original
य इमां पृथिवीं कृत्स्नां चर्मवत् समवेष्टयत्। महता रथघोषेण मुख्यारिनो महारथः॥ दशाश्वमेधानाजहे स्वन्नपानाप्तदक्षिणान्। निरर्गलान् सर्वमेधान् पुत्रवत् पालयन् प्रजाः॥ गङ्गस्रोतसि यावन्यः सिकता अप्यशेषतः। तावतीर्गा ददौ वीर उशीनरसुतोऽध्वरे॥
That one who, as if with a leathern belt, encompassed this extensive earth. With the deafening rattle of his chariot, that foremost of warriors, the chief of all slayers of enemies, who in lieu of other sacrifices accomplished ten horse-sacrifices with ample food, drink and Dakshina, that one who ruled his subjects, as if they were his own sons, that son of Ushinara who in his sacrifice gave away kineas numerous as the sand that over-spread the banks of the Ganges-stream, whose this deed no man has been or will be able to imitate.
