Drauṇi’s Vow and the Description of the Nārāyaṇāstra
तयो: समागमो राजंश्रित्ररूपो बभूव ह । व्यपेतजलद व्योम्नि बुधभास्करयोरिव,राजन! जैसे मेघरहित आकाशमें बुध और सूर्यका समागम हो, उसी प्रकार युद्धस्थलमें उन दोनोंका अद्भुत मिलन हुआ
tayor samāgamo rājan citrarūpo babhūva ha | vyapetajalada-vyomni budha-bhāskarayor iva ||
Dijo Sañjaya: ¡Oh rey!, el encuentro de aquellos dos fue maravilloso de contemplar. Como la conjunción de Mercurio y el Sol en un cielo despejado de nubes, así apareció en el campo de batalla su extraordinaria convergencia.
