Devanagari script
शुशुभाते नरव्याप्रौ तौ भीष्मशरविक्षतौ । गोवृषाविव संरब्धौ विषाणैलिखिताड्कितौ,भीष्मके बाणोंसे क्षत-विक्षत हो वे नरश्रेष्ठ श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुन क्रोधमें भरे हुए उन दो साँड़ोंके समान सुशोभित हुए, जिनके सम्पूर्ण शरीरमें सींगोंके आघातसे बहुत-से घाव हो गये हों
Translation
Wounded and torn by Bhīṣma’s arrows, Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna—the foremost of men—shone all the more in their wrath, like two enraged bulls whose bodies are scored with many wounds from the blows of horns.
