Devanagari script

विमानप्रतिमां तत्र मयेन सुकृतां सभाम्‌ | पाण्डवानामुपद्तां स दृष्टवा पर्यतप्यत,उस अवसरपर मयदानवने पाण्डवोंको एक सभाभवन भेंटमें दिया था, जिसकी रूपरेखा विमानके समान थी। वह भवन उसके शिल्पकौशलका एक अच्छा नमूना था। उसे देखकर दुर्योधनको और अधिक संताप हुआ

Transliteration

vimānapratimāṃ tatra mayena sukṛtāṃ sabhām | pāṇḍavānām upadattāṃ sa dṛṣṭvā paryatapyata ||

Translation

There, Maya had fashioned a splendid assembly hall, shaped like a celestial vimāna, and presented it to the Pāṇḍavas as a gift. When Duryodhana saw that hall—an outstanding display of Maya’s artistry—he was consumed by deeper anguish, as envy and wounded pride intensified at the sight of the Pāṇḍavas’ rising fortune.
