Dhṛṣṭadyumna’s Enumeration of Assembled Kṣatriyas
Devanagari script
दृष्टवा स पुनरेवर्षिन्नदीं हैमवर्ती तदा । चण्डग्राहवतीं भीमां तस्या: स्रोतस्यपातयत्,(इस तरह घूमते-घूमते) महर्षिने पुन: हिमालय पर्वतसे निकली हुई एक भयंकर नदीको देखा, जिसमें बड़े प्रचण्ड ग्राह रहते थे। उन्होंने फिर उसीकी प्रखर धारामें अपने-आपको डाल दिया
Translation
So erblickte der große ṛṣi auf seinem Umherirren erneut einen furchterregenden Fluss, der aus dem Himālaya hervorging und von wilden Grahas wimmelte. Und abermals stürzte er sich selbst in seine reißende Strömung.
