अद्य कृष्णश् च पार्थश् च धर्मराजश् च माधव ॥
हते त्वयि निरुत्साहा रणं त्यक्ष्यन्त्य् असंशयम् ॥
अद्य ते ऽपचितिं कृत्वा शितैर् माधव सायकैः ॥
तत्स्त्रियो नन्दयिष्यामि ये त्वया निहता रणे ॥

Today Kṛṣṇa and Pārtha, and King Dharma, O Mādhava, when you are slain, disheartened, shall without doubt abandon the battle. Today, having given you your due with sharp arrows, O Mādhava, I shall gladden the wives of those whom you slew in battle. Having fallen within my field of vision, you shall not escape, O Mādhava -- as a small creature that has fallen into a lion's domain, so are you.

Bhūriśravas likens himself to a lion and the formidable Sātyaki to a small creature: boasting inflates the self while belittling the opponent. It is telling that he imagines gladdening the widows of the slain -- vengeance dresses itself as mercy. The verse teaches that humiliating an enemy in words does not decide the outcome; and one who beforehand calls his rival prey often turns out himself to be not the lion but the one destined to fall.
