c5.s4.15.6

Kṛṣṇa arrived at the camp and informed the Pāṇḍavas (IX, 63). Requested by Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Sañjaya narrated the lamentations of Duryodhana while lying on the field with his thighs broken (εε); he thought himself happy, and asked Sañjaya to bring his message to his parents and to Aṣvatthāman, etc. (ζζ) ("you should never place any confidence in the Pāṇḍavas"), and took leave of the message-bearers (εε); he was confident that Cārvāka, the mendicant devotee, would avenge his death. Thousands of men, with eyes full of tears, fled away; the earth trembled, etc. The messengers went and informed Aṣvatthāman and then went away (IX, 64). Aṣvatthāman, etc. (ζζ), came to Duryodhana, who lay surrounded by carnivorous animals, etc. Aṣvatthāman's lament and Duryodhana's reply (ηη); Aṣvatthāman vowed to slay all the Pāñcālas; Duryodhana let Kṛpa install Aṣvatthāman as the Kuru generalissimo; then they took leave of Duryodhana and left him alone (IX, 65).
