पतिम् अन्यं परीप्सस्व न सन्ति पतयस् तव ॥
नरकं पतिताः पार्थाः सर्वे षण्ढतिलोपमाः ॥
समक्षं तव कौरव्य यद् ऊचुः कुरवस् तदा ॥

यच् चापि तान् प्रव्रजतः कृष्णाजिननिवासिनः ॥
परुषाण्य् उक्तवान् कर्णः सभायां संनिधौ तव ॥

dāsībhogena kṛṣṇāṃ ca bhoktukāmāḥ sutās tava ||
yac cāpi tān pravrajataḥ kṛṣṇājinanivāsinaḥ ||
paruṣāṇy uktavān karṇaḥ sabhāyāṃ saṃnidhau tava ||
