Shloka 59
श्वैताश्वयुक्त च सुघोषमुग्रं रथं महाबाहुरदीनसत्त्व: । महेषुधी चाक्षये दिव्यरूपे शस्त्राणि दिव्यानि च हव्यवाहात्
śvaitāśvayuktaṃ ca sughoṣam ugraṃ rathaṃ mahābāhur adīnasattvaḥ | maheṣudhī cākṣaye divyarūpe śastrāṇi divyāni ca havyavāhāt ||
قال كارنا: «إن أرجونا، عظيم الذراعين ثابت الجَنان، تلقّى من أغني عربةً مهيبةً تُجرّها خيول بيض، وتدوّي بدويّ عميق يبعث الرهبة؛ كما نال جعبتين عظيمتين إلهيتين لا تنفدان، ونال أسلحة سماوية.»
