Devanagari script

विधूमो दृश्यते राजंस्तथा पार्थो धनंजय: । राजन्‌! जैसे चराचर जगत्‌को दग्ध करके भगवान्‌ अग्निदेव धूमरहित देखे जाते हैं, उसी प्रकार कुन्तीकुमार अर्जुन भी देदीप्यमान हो रहे थे

Transliteration

vidhūmo dṛśyate rājan tathā pārtho dhanañjayaḥ | rājan! yathā carācarajagat dagdhvā bhagavān agnidevaḥ dhūmarahitaḥ dṛśyate, tathā kuntīkumāra arjuno 'pi dedīpyamāna āsīt |

Translation

Sañjaya said: “O King, Dhananjaya—Arjuna, the son of Pṛthā—was seen blazing forth, smoke-free. Just as the divine Fire-god, after burning the whole moving and unmoving world, is beheld without smoke, so too was Arjuna shining with a pure, consuming radiance.”
