Having his soul under complete control, he became filled with delight, the marks whereof appeared on his body. Bowing unto the great Rishi, Aswatthaman then, casting his eyes on the (Kuru) army, caused it-to be withdrawn (for nightly rest). Indeed, when, after the fall of Drona, the cheerless Kurus retired from the field, the Pandavas also, O monarch, caused their army to be withdrawn. Having fought for five days and caused an immense carnage, that Brahman well-versed in the Vedas, viz., Drona, repaired, O king, to the region of Brahma!'." > — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - [Previous: 7.172.92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.7.172.92) - [Next: 7.172.94](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.7.172.94) - [Up: 7.172](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.7.172) ## Translations (1) - [The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa~en-ganguli.7.201.12) — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Bhāratabhāvadīpa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa!nilakantha.7.201.99) — Nīlakaṇṭha Caturdhara 1650, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Vulgate (Nīlakaṇṭha's text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.7.201.99) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.7.172.93](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.7.172.93) · Pramāṇa
