Shloka 33
गदायुद्ध-समारम्भः
Commencement of the Mace-Duel Proceedings
स चाप्युपगतो योद्धुं भीमेन सह साम्प्रतम्,इस समय वह भीमके साथ युद्ध करनेके लिये उनके पास जा पहुँचा है। राम! आज उन दोनोंमें बड़ा भयंकर युद्ध होगा, माधव! यदि तुम्हारे मनमें भी उसे देखनेका कौतूहल हो तो शीघ्र जाओ। यदि ठीक समझो तो अपने दोनों शिष्योंका वह महाभयंकर युद्ध अपनी आँखोंसे देख लो
sa cāpy upagato yoddhuṃ bhīmena saha sāmpratam | idānīṃ sa bhīmena saha yuddhārthaṃ teṣāṃ samīpaṃ prāptaḥ | rāma! adya tayor mahāghoraṃ yuddhaṃ bhaviṣyati | mādhava! yadi te manasi tad draṣṭuṃ kautūhalaṃ syāt tarhi śīghraṃ gaccha | yadi manyase tarhi svayoḥ śiṣyayoḥ tad mahābhayaṅkaraṃ yuddhaṃ svacakṣuṣā paśya |
Nārada said: “He too has now gone forth to fight with Bhīma and has reached their presence. Rāma, today there will be a most dreadful battle between those two. Mādhava, if your heart is curious to witness it, go quickly. If you deem it right, behold with your own eyes that terrifying combat between your two disciples.”
