प्रावृट्-शरत्-वर्णनम् — Description of the Monsoon and Autumn; Sarasvatī in the Pāṇḍavas’ Exile
स हि प्रयत्नमकरोत् तीव्रमात्मविमोक्षणे न चैनमशकद् वीर: कथंचित् प्रतिबाधितुम्,उन्होंने अपनेको छुड़ानेके लिये घोर प्रयत्न किया, किंतु वीरवर भीमसेन किसी प्रकार भी उस सर्पको पराजित करनेमें सफलता नहीं प्राप्त कर सके
sa hi prayatnam akarot tīvram ātmavimokṣaṇe na cainam aśakad vīraḥ kathaṃcit pratibādhitum
