श्रुत्वा तु तं महाशब्दं पाण्डूनां पुत्रगृद्धिनाम् ॥
चारैः प्रवेदिते तत्र समुत्थाय जयद्रथः ॥
शोकसंमूढहृदयो दुःखेनाभिहतो भृशम् ॥
मज्जमान इवागाधे विपुले शोकसागरे ॥
जगाम समितिं राज्ञां सैन्धवो विमृशन् बहु ॥
स तेषां नरदेवानां सकाशे परिदेवयन् ॥

śrutvā tu taṃ mahāśabdaṃ pāṇḍūnāṃ putragṛddhinām ||
cāraiḥ pravedite tatra samutthāya jayadrathaḥ ||
śokasaṃmūḍhahṛdayo duḥkhenābhihato bhṛśam ||
majjamāna ivāgādhe vipule śokasāgare ||
jagāma samitiṃ rājñāṃ saindhavo vimṛśan bahu ||

Having heard that loud clamor of the Pandavas, grieving over their son — when the spies had told of it — Jayadratha rose, his heart in confusion, grievously struck down by sorrow, like one sinking in the bottomless, boundless ocean of grief; the man of Sindhu, in heavy brooding, went to the assembly of kings, lamenting before those lords of men.

The loud clamor of the Pandavas and the sound of the Panchajanya did not stir fury in the enemy's camp, but terror: "śokasaṃmūḍhahṛdayaḥ… majjamānaḥ iva… śokasāgare" — Jayadratha drowns in a sea of grief even before the battle begins. It is telling that Arjuna's vow works upon the guilty man before the arrow does: conscience and fear already execute their sentence on him. He who once barred the gate to a defenseless boy now himself thrashes in confusion. The verse teaches that an unrighteous deed carries its own retribution within the doer: fear anticipates the punishment, and the wrongdoer is chastised by his own heart before ever the avenger's hand reaches him.
