राहोर्विमुक्तं विमल॑ समग्रं चन्द्र यथैवा भ्युदितं तथैव । धर्मराजको युद्धस्थलमें आया हुआ देख समस्त प्राणी बड़ी प्रसन्नताके साथ उनका अभिनन्दन करने लगे। ठीक उसी तरह, जैसे राहुके ग्रहणसे छूटे हुए निर्मल एवं सम्पूर्ण चन्द्रमाको उदित देख सब लोग बड़े प्रसन्न होते हैं ।। दृष्टवा तु मुख्यावथ युध्यमानौ दिदृक्षव: शूरवरावरिघ्नौ

Sañjaya said: “Just as the spotless, full moon, released from Rahu’s eclipse, rises again in its complete radiance, so too, when the righteous king (Yudhiṣṭhira) was seen arriving on the battlefield, all beings rejoiced and greeted him with glad acclaim. And seeing those two foremost heroes engaged in combat—destroyers of enemy champions—people, eager to witness, gathered their attention upon them.”
