Śakuntalā’s Satya-Discourse and the Recognition of Bharata (शकुन्तला–सत्योपदेशः; भरतप्रतिग्रहः)
सुपर्णप्रतिमेनाथ रथेन वसुधाधिप: । महीमापूरयामास घोषेण त्रिदिवं तथा,उनका रथ गरुडके समान वेगशाली था। उसके द्वारा यात्रा करनेवाले नरेशने घरघराहटकी आवाजसे पृथ्वी और आकाशको गुँँजा दिया। जाते-जाते बुद्धिमान् दुष्यन्तने एक नन्दनवनके समान मनोहर वन देखा, जो बेल, आक, खैर, कैथ और धव (बाकली) आदि वृक्षोंसे भरपूर था
suparṇapratimenātha rathena vasudhādhipaḥ | mahīm āpūrayāmāsa ghoṣeṇa tridivaṃ tathā ||
Vaiśampāyana said: Then the lord of the earth rode in a chariot swift as Garuḍa. As he sped along, the rumbling of its motion made the earth resound and seemed to echo even up to the heavens—signaling the king’s power and purposeful advance as he moved through the world in search of what fate would place before him.
