Translation :-Let the nearest relatives of those slain on the battle-field cremate the dead bodies of the latter ; let these (surviving) kinsmen offer, somehow with a heavy heart, to (their dead) kinsmen the funeral libation mixed with their own tears; let people search for the dead bodies of their kinsmen torn as they are by vultures and herons, in the thick mass o slain people. Here the sun has set along with our enemies (i.e. the sun has set and our enemies have fallen too) ; so let the forces be withdrawn.

Translation:-This bow, so surely capable of overcoming you was cast of (by me) so long owing to resentment against Karna ; and, on this battle-field thus left devoid of true warriors, your valour loomed conspicuous as in a desolate wilderness. But here am I, the son of Drona, the fire of world destruction for the Pandavas and the wholesale slaughterer of the army of Drupada's son (i.e. Dhristadyumna), now approaching with my memory brooding over the outrageous touch of the head of my father when, without being vanquished, he had laid down his missiles.
