ācașța dhịtarāșțrāya yad vșttam kurujangle
In the 5th śloka of 78th chapter of Karaṇaparva Dhstarāștra asks Sanjaya to narrate the valour of Karaṇa and his army as he is expert in narrating the details :--
In the 14th śloka of the Ist chapter of Salyaparva is mentioned that in the forenoon Sanjaya in grief and sorrow came from cantonment and entered Hastinapur :--
statah pūrvāhnasamaye sivirādetya Sanjayaḥ, praviveśa purīm dīno duḥkha sokasamanvitaḥ.”
In the 15th śloka it is narrated that having entered the city Sanjaya entered place with raised arms and in deep sorrow :--
“Sa pravisya purim sūto bhujāvucichuratya dukhitaḥ vepamānastato rājñaḥ praviveśa niketanam.”
In 51st to 57th ślokas of 25th chapter of Salyavadhaparva Sanjay says, O, king! Having lost their arms many of your warriors were in pitiable condition. Seeing this I along with the army of your four charioteers started fighting the enemy. I was fighting where Kępācārya was but on account of heavy attack of arrows of Arjuna all the five of us fled but faced Dhrstadyumna. We fought fiercely but had to run; at that time Sātyaki attacked me with four hundred charioteers. I fought bravely, but all of my armaments were destroyed. On account of fatigue, I fainted and was made captive :--
“vivarņamukhabhuviştham abhavat tāvakam balam, pariksīņāyudhān dystvā tanaham parivāritān. rājana balena dvayangena tyaktvā jīvitam ātmanaḥ, ātmanā pañcamo ayudhhyam pāñcālasya balen ha. tasmin deće vyavasthāya yatra śārdvatah sthitaḥ sampradrutā vayam pañca kirīțasarapīditaḥ
