संजयो ऽहं महाराज नमस् ते भरतर्षभ ॥
हतो भीष्मः शांतनवो भरतानां पितामहः ॥
ककुदं सर्वयोधानां धाम सर्वधनुष्मताम् ॥
शरतल्पगतः सो ऽद्य शेते कुरुपितामहः ॥
यस्य वीर्यं समाश्रित्य द्यूतं पुत्रस् तवाकरोत् ॥
स शेते निहतो राजन् संख्ये भीष्मः शिखण्डिना ॥
saṃjayo 'haṃ mahārāja namas te bharatarṣabha ||
hato bhīṣmaḥ śāṃtanavo bharatānāṃ pitāmahaḥ ||
kakudaṃ sarvayodhānāṃ dhāma sarvadhanuṣmatām ||
śaratalpagataḥ so 'dya śete kurupitāmahaḥ ||
yasya vīryaṃ samāśritya dyūtaṃ putras tavākarot ||
sa śete nihato rājan saṃkhye bhīṣmaḥ śikhaṇḍinā ||
"I am Sanjaya, O great king; homage to you, O bull of the Bharatas. Bhishma, son of Shantanu, grandsire of the Bharatas, has been struck down. The summit of all warriors, the refuge of all bowmen, the grandsire of the Kurus, lies today upon a bed of arrows. That Bhishma, on whose valor your son relied when he staged the game of dice, lies struck down, O king: in battle he has been felled by Shikhandin."

Sanjaya ties Bhishma's fall to Duryodhana's old transgression. The one on whose strength he counted in that dishonest game now lies upon arrows, and the shield that sustained his pride is gone.
