चर्मवर्म भ्रमोपेतां रथोडुपसमाकुलाम् । जयैषिणां च सुतरां भीरूणां च सुदुस्तराम्
carmavarma bhramopetāṁ rathoḍupasamākulām | jayaiṣiṇāṁ ca sutarāṁ bhīrūṇāṁ ca sudustarām ||
সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—সেই ৰণভূমি ঢাল আৰু বর্মৰ ঘূৰ্ণায়মান গোঁজামিলত ভৰি আছিল আৰু ৰথেৰে এনেদৰে আৱৰি আছিল যেন নাওঁৰ ভিৰ। জয়কামীসকলৰ বাবে সি পাৰ হ’ব পৰা আছিল, কিন্তু ভীতসকলৰ বাবে অতি দুস্তৰ আছিল।
