Devanagari script
पाण्डवाश्व महीपालै: समेतैरभिसंवृता: । अशोभनत महाराज ग्रहास्तारागणैरिव,तद् धनौघमपर्यन्तं पार्थ: पार्थिवमण्डले । विसृजन् शुशुभे राजन् यथा वैश्रवणस्तथा राजन! उस अनन्त धनराशिको भूपालमण्डलमें बाँटते हुए कुन्तीकुमार युधिष्छिर कुबेरके समान शोभा पाते थे
Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: O king, the Pāṇḍavas, surrounded by the assembled rulers, appeared splendid—like the planets amid the host of stars. And Yudhiṣṭhira, Kuntī’s son, as he distributed that boundless heap of wealth among the circle of kings, shone like Vaiśravaṇa (Kubera).
