ततः प्रहृष्टो दाशार्हः पाण्डवश् च धनंजयः ॥
व्याक्रोशेतां महानादं दध्मतुश् चाम्बुजोत्तमौ ॥
तौ हृष्टरूपौ संप्रेक्ष्य कौरवेयाश् च सर्वशः ॥
निराशाः समपद्यन्त पुत्रस्य तव जीविते ॥
शोकम् ईयुः परं चैव कुरवः सर्व एव ते ॥
अमन्यन्त च पुत्रं ते वैश्वानरमुखे हुतम् ॥
tataḥ prahṛṣṭo dāśārhaḥ pāṇḍavaś ca dhanaṃjayaḥ ||
vyākrośetāṃ mahānādaṃ dadhmatuś cāmbujottamau ||
tau hṛṣṭarūpau saṃprekṣya kauraveyāś ca sarvaśaḥ ||
nirāśāḥ samapadyanta putrasya tava jīvite ||
śokam īyuḥ paraṃ caiva kuravaḥ sarva eva te ||
amanyanta ca putraṃ te vaiśvānaramukhe hutam ||
Then the joyful Dasharha and the Pandava Dhananjaya raised a great cry and blew their two finest conches. Seeing those two of joyful aspect, the Kauravas everywhere lost all hope for the life of your son, and all those Kurus fell into deep grief, deeming your son already an offering cast into the mouth of the fire.

By the joyful look of the two, the Kauravas deem Duryodhana already offered into the mouth of the fire -- a doomed sacrifice. The image returns to the thought of war as a sacred rite, in which the fallen are the offerings. It is telling that the joy of those graced by God announces death for the enemy. The verse teaches that nearness to the Lord proclaims the outcome before the blow falls: His joy and His devotee's joy, for the wicked, is a sign that he is already given to the fire; and where two graced by God rejoice, there the guilty one is already an offering laid upon the flame of retribution.
