Devanagari script

सुवृत्तानायतान्‌ पुष्टां श्वन्दनागुरुभूषितान्‌,अर्जुनने समरभूमिमें अपने क्षुरोंद्वारा शत्रुओंकी उन भुजाओंको भी काट डाला, जो पाँच मुखवाले सर्पोके समान दिखायी देती थीं, जो गोल, लंबी, पुष्ट तथा अगुरु एवं चन्दनसे चर्चित थीं और जिनमें आयुध एवं दस्ताने भी मौजूद थे

Translation

અર્જુને રણભૂમિમાં પોતાના ક્ષુરધાર શસ્ત્રોથી શત્રુઓની તે ભુજાઓ પણ કાપી નાંખી—જે ગોળ, લાંબી, પુષ્ટ, ચંદન-અગરૂથી સુગંધિત, આયુધ અને દસ્તાનાથી યુક્ત, અને પંચમુખ સર્પ સમી દેખાતી હતી.
