यमसभावर्णनम् (Yamasabhā-varṇanam) — Nārada’s Description of Dharmarāja’s Assembly
तैजसी सा सभा राजन् बभूव शतयोजना । विस्तारायामसम्पन्ना भूयसी चापि पाण्डव,राजन्! वह तेजोमयी विशाल सभा लम्बाई और चौड़ाईमें भी सौ योजन है तथा पाण्डुनन्दन! सम्भव है, इससे भी कुछ बड़ी हो
taijasī sā sabhā rājan babhūva śatayojanā | vistārāyāmasampannā bhūyasī cāpi pāṇḍava ||
ナーラダは言った。「王よ、その सभाは光り輝き、百ヨージャナにわたり広がっていた。幅も長さも見事に整い—パーンドゥの末裔よ—なおそれ以上に大きかったかもしれぬ。」
