Devanagari script
इरावानपि खड्गेन दर्शयन् पाणिलाघवम् | अभ्यवर्तत तान् सर्वान् सौबलान् बलदर्पित:,इरावान् भी बलके अभिमानमें उन्मत्त हो अपने हाथोंकी फुर्ती दिखाता हुआ खड़्गके द्वारा उन समस्त सुबलपुत्रोंका सामना करने लगा
Transliteration
irāvān api khaḍgena darśayan pāṇilāghavam | abhyavartata tān sarvān saubalān baladarpitaḥ ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Irāvān too, displaying the swift dexterity of his hands with his sword, advanced to meet all those Saubalas. Intoxicated with the pride of strength, he pressed into the fray—an image of youthful valor that, in war, can easily slide from courage into overconfidence.
