अदृष्टपूर्व तद् दृष्टवा साधुवादों महानभूत् । सिद्धचारणसंघानां सैनिकानां च सर्वश:,यह अदृष्टपूर्व कार्य देखकर सिद्ध, चारण तथा सैनिकोंके मुखसे निकला हुआ महान् साधुवाद सब ओर गूँज उठा
adṛṣṭapūrvaṃ tad dṛṣṭvā sādhuvādo mahān abhūt | siddhacāraṇasaṃghānāṃ sainikānāṃ ca sarvaśaḥ ||
Melihat perbuatan yang belum pernah disaksikan itu, pekik pujian besar—“Sādhu! Sādhu!”—bergema ke segala arah, dari para Siddha, para Cāraṇa, dan seluruh prajurit di medan perang.

Sañjaya reports that after an unprecedented feat is witnessed on the battlefield, loud praise erupts everywhere—from Siddhas and Cāraṇas as well as from the soldiers across the army.
