धनंजयस्य संग्रामे प्रत्यदृश्यत भैरवम्‌ । उस संग्राममें अर्जुनका भयंकर ध्वज वानरके चिह्से सुशोभित दिखायी देता था। उस वानरकी पूँछ सिंहके समान थी और उसका मुख बड़ा ही उग्र था

dhanañjayasya saṅgrāme pratyadṛśyata bhairavam |

Translation

Sañjaya said: In the thick of battle, Dhanañjaya’s banner appeared in a fearsome form—splendidly marked with the emblem of the monkey. Its tail was like a lion’s, and its face was exceedingly fierce, proclaiming Arjuna’s resolve and the righteous confidence that steadies him amid the terror of war.
