Adhyāya 39: Śiśupāla’s Censure and Bhīma’s Contained Wrath (शिशुपाल-निन्दा तथा भीमक्रोध-निग्रहः)
अदृश्यरूपा वाचश्चाप्यब्रुवन् साधु साध्विति । उस समय सहदेवके मस्तकपर आकाशसे फूलोंकी वर्षा होने लगी और अदृश्यरूपसे खड़े हुए देवताओंने 'साधु', 'साधु” कहकर उनके सत्साहसकी प्रशंसा की
adṛśyarūpā vācaścāpyabruvan sādhu sādhviti |
Vaiśampāyana said: Invisible voices exclaimed, “Well done! Well done!” At that moment a shower of flowers fell from the sky upon Sahadeva’s head, and unseen gods, standing there, praised his righteous courage.
