एतदालोक्यते सैन्यं क्षोभ्यमाणं किरीटिना । महोर्मिनद्धं सुमहत् तिमिनेव महाजलम्,“जैसे तिमि नामक महामत्स्य उत्तालतरंगोंसे युक्त महासागरके जलको मथ डालता है, उसी प्रकार किरीटधारी अर्जुनके द्वारा मथित हो यह कौरवसेना विक्षुब्ध होती दिखायी देती है
etad ālokyate sainyaṃ kṣobhyamāṇaṃ kirīṭinā | mahormiṇaddhaṃ sumahat timinā iva mahājalam ||
