वृक्षानिव महावाता: कम्पयन्ति सम तावकान्
Translation
Wie ein gewaltiger Sturmwind die Bäume erschüttert, so ließen die Helden der Pāṇḍavas deine Soldaten erbeben. O König, wie der Ostwind den mächtigen Strom der Gaṅgā in Aufruhr versetzt, so stifteten jene Krieger auch im Heer der Pāṇḍavas Bewegung und Unruhe.
