अरजांसि च वस्त्राणि धारयन्ती गतक्लमा । विमानस्था शुभा भासि सहस्रगुणमोजसा
arajāṁsi ca vastrāṇi dhārayantī gataklamā | vimānasthā śubhā bhāsi sahasraguṇamojasā ||
Bhīṣma dit : «Vêtue d’habits sans tache et sans la moindre lassitude, tu sièges sur un char céleste. Ta forme est de bon augure et, par ta propre radiance spirituelle, tu resplendis d’un éclat mille fois accru.»
