9.2.45

duryodhano hato yatra śalyaśca nihato yudhi |
duḥśāsano viśastaśca vikarṇaśca mahābalaḥ || 45 ||

Nothing other than an exile into the woods can be better for me who am fallen into this plight and who am shorn of my wings, O Sanjaya. When Duryodhana had been slain, when Shalya has been slain, when Duhshasana and Vivingsati and the mighty Vikarna have been slain, how shall I be able to bear the roars of that Bhimasena who hath alone slain a hundred sons of mine in battle? He will frequently speak of the slaughter of Duryodhana in my hearing. Burning with grief and sorrow, I shall not be able to bear his cruel words.'"

Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
