Devanagari script
उभौ कट्यां सुपाश्चे तु तक्षवन्तौ च शिक्षितौ । अधोहस्तं स्वकण्ठे तूदरस्योरसि चाक्षिपत्
Transliteration
ubhau kaṭyāṃ supāśce tu takṣavantau ca śikṣitau | adhohastaṃ svakaṇṭhe tūdarasyorasi cākṣipat |
Translation
Dijo Śrī Kṛṣṇa: Ambos contendientes estaban bien adiestrados y eran diestros en las llaves de la lucha—asir la cintura y los flancos, zafarse contrayendo el cuerpo y aplicar clinches de gran fuerza. Metían las manos por debajo del vientre del adversario, cerraban el torso con ambos brazos y luego lo alzaban hasta la altura del cuello y el pecho antes de arrojarlo con violencia al suelo.
