Devanagari script
पाण्ड्येनाभ्यर्दितं सैन्यं त्वदीयं वीक्ष्य विस्मित: । तब श्रीकृष्णने वायुके समान वेगशाली अअभ्रोंद्वारा उस सेनामें प्रवेश करके देखा कि पाण्ड्यनरेशने आपकी सेनाको अत्यन्त पीड़ित कर दिया है; यह देखकर उन्हें बड़ा आश्चर्य हुआ
Translation
Seeing your army grievously harried by the Pāṇḍya king, Śrī Kṛṣṇa was astonished. Then, swift as the wind—like a storm-cloud driving in—he entered that host and beheld how the Pāṇḍya ruler had sorely afflicted your troops; at the sight, his wonder grew all the more.
