Note on the text: Rebuilt from the raw page's own verse-end marks: the page prints this line with the mark ।। and the next two lines as a separate verse (the input had joined this line to the first line of the next verse). Line = CE 7.103.48c; the CE's 7.103.48a-b is not on the page.

Verse 57 (7.128.57)

एवं बहुविधं तस्य राज्ञश्चिन्तयतस्तदा । कृपयाऽभिपरीतस्य घोरं युद्धमवर्तत ॥

evaṃ bahuvidhaṃ tasya rājñaścintayatastadā | kṛpayā'bhiparītasya ghoraṃ yuddhamavartata

While the king was thinking in many ways like this, filled with compassion, the dreadful battle went on.

Note on the text: Rebuilt from the raw page's own verse-end marks (see verse 56): line 1 is the line the input had placed at the end of verse 56, and the page prints it with the single mark । before the last line. Lines = CE 7.103.49a and 49c (reading differs in line 1: evaṃ bahuvidhaṃ tasya cintayānasya pārthiva; variant, kept). Yudhishthira's thoughts end with verse 56 and Sanjaya's narration resumes.
