यथा निर्मथ्यमानस्य सागरस्य तु निःस्वनः । अभवत् तव सैन्यस्य सुमहानद्भुतोपम:,जैसे मथे जाते हुए समुद्रका महान् शब्द सब ओर गूँज उठा था, उसी प्रकार आपकी सेनाका महान् कोलाहल भी अद्भुत एवं अनुपम था
Transliteration
yathā nirmathyamānasya sāgarasya tu niḥsvanaḥ | abhavat tava sainyasya sumahān adbhutopamaḥ ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Just as, when the ocean is being churned, a vast roar rises and resounds on every side, so too did an immense, wondrous, and unparalleled tumult arise from your army. The simile underscores how the gathered forces, driven by agitation and impending violence, generated a sound like a cosmic upheaval—an omen-like intensity within the moral storm of war.
