तत्राद्भुतमपश्याम पार्षतस्य पराक्रमम् | न्यवारयत यस्तूर्ण शल्यं समितिशोभनम्,वहाँ हमलोगोंने धृष्टद्युम्मनका यह पराक्रम देखा कि उन्होंने संग्रामभूमिमें शोभा पानेवाले राजा शल्यको तुरंत ही आगे बढ़नेसे रोक दिया
tatrādbhutam apaśyāma pārṣatasya parākramam | nyavārayat yas tūrṇaṃ śalyaṃ samitiśobhanam ||
সেখানে আমরা পার্ষত ধৃষ্টদ্যুম্নের আশ্চর্য পরাক্রম দেখলাম—যুদ্ধসভায় দীপ্তিমান রাজা শল্যকে তিনি তৎক্ষণাৎ অগ্রসর হতে বাধা দিলেন।
