द्रोणमभ्यपतद्राजन्वैनतेय इवोरगम् ॥ ७.१९२.३५ ॥

अन्तेवासिनमाचार्यो जिघांसुः पुत्रसम्मितम् ॥ ७.१९२.४४ ॥

दिव्यान्यस्त्राणि सर्वेषां युधि निघ्न्तमच्युतम् ॥ ७.१९२.४७ ॥
Saying "Well done! Well done!", they both honoured the descendant of Vṛṣṇi (Sātyaki), and they honoured Acyuta (Kṛṣṇa) too, who in battle was striking down the divine weapons of all.
