प्राविशन्कितवा मन्दाः सभां युधि दुरासदाम् । प्राणद्यूते प्रतिभये केऽदीव्यन्त नरर्षभाः॥६-१५-६७॥
The gamblers—foolish men—entered that assembly in battle, difficult to approach; in that fearful ‘wagering of lives,’ which bull-like heroes were ‘playing’?

केऽजयन्के जितास्तत्र हृतलक्षा निपातिताः । अन्ये भीष्माच्छांतनवात्तन्ममाचक्ष्व संजय॥६-१५-६८॥
Who prevailed there, and who were overcome—who, having lost their aim, were brought down? And what of the others, in relation to Bhīṣma, the son of Śāṃtanu? Tell me that, Sañjaya.

न हि मे शान्तिरस्तीह युधि देवव्रतं हतम् । पितरं भीमकर्माणं श्रुत्वा मे दुःखमाविशत्॥६-१५-६९॥
For I have no peace here, having heard that Devavrata has been struck down in battle. On hearing that my father—of formidable deeds—has fallen, sorrow entered me.
