Shloka 41
Book 9 (Śalya-parva), Adhyāya 13 — Arjuna’s Arrow-storm and the Drauṇi Confrontation
Devanagari script
जैसे वायु बड़े-बड़े बादलोंको उड़ा देती है, उसी प्रकार समरांगणमें राजा शल्यने अनेक प्रकारके अस्त्र-शस्त्रोंसे परिपूर्ण उस उमड़ी हुई शस्त्रवर्षाको छिन्न-भिन्न कर डाला ।। ततः कनकपुड्खां तां शल्यक्षिप्तां वियद्गताम् । शरवृष्टिमपश्याम शलभानामिवायतिम्,तत्पश्चात् शल्यके चलाये हुए सुनहरे पंखवाले बाणोंकी वर्षा आकाशमें टिड्डीदलोंके समान छा गयी, जिसे हमने अपनी आँखों देखा था
