शल्यस्य पाण्डवसेनापीडनम् — Śalya’s Assault on the Pāṇḍava Host
with Omens and Bhīma’s Counter
Devanagari script
प्रापतत् तच्च सहसा पाण्डवानां महद् बलम् | दधारैको रणे शल्यो वेलोद्वृत्तमिवार्णवम्,साथ ही पाण्डवोंकी वह विशाल सेना भी सहसा वहाँ आ पहुँची। परंतु जैसे तट उमड़ते हुए समुद्रको रोक देता है, उसी प्रकार अकेले राजा शल्यने रणभूमिमें उस सेनाको आगे बढ़नेसे रोक दिया
Translation
At the same time, the Pāṇḍavas’ vast army also arrived there all at once. Yet, as a shore holds back a surging sea, so did King Śalya, alone, check that host from advancing on the battlefield.
