न्यवधीत् सायकै?रैः सिन्धुराजस्य रक्षिणः॥ द्रौणिं कृपं कर्णशल्यौ वृषसेनं सुयोधनम्। छादयामास तीव्रण शरजालेन पाण्डवः॥ न गृह्णन् न क्षिपन् राजन् मुञ्चन्नापि च संदधत्। अदृश्यतार्जुनः संख्ये शीघ्रास्रत्वात् कथंचन॥ धनुर्मण्डलमेवास्य दृश्यते स्मास्यतः सदा। सायकाश्च व्यदृश्यन्त निश्चरन्तः समन्ततः॥ कर्णस्य तु धनुश्छित्त्वा वृषसेनस्य चैव ह।
