अध्याय ५८ — वानरध्वजस्य महेन्द्रास्त्रप्रयोगः
Chapter 58: Arjuna’s Deployment of the Indra-Weapon
तस्य बाणमयं वर्ष शलभानामिवायतिम् | दृष्टवा ते विस्मिता: सर्वे साधु साध्वित्य पूजयन्
tasya bāṇamayaṁ varṣaṁ śalabhānām ivāyatim | dṛṣṭvā te vismitāḥ sarve sādhu sādhv ity apūjayan |
তেওঁৰ বাণবৃষ্টি টিডিঙাৰ ঝাঁকৰ দৰে ঘন আৰু দূৰলৈ বিস্তৃত দেখি সকলো যোদ্ধা বিস্মিত হ’ল আৰু “সাধু! সাধু!” বুলি কৈ তেওঁক প্ৰশংসা কৰিলে।
