Devanagari script

लोमश उवाच । उभे सेने तदा तेषां सुराणां चामरद्विषाम् । अनेकाश्चर्यसंवीते चतुरंगबलान्विते । विरेजतुस्तदान्योऽन्यं गर्जतो वांबुदागमे

Translation

ലോമശൻ പറഞ്ഞു—അപ്പോൾ ദേവന്മാരുടെയും അമരദ്വിഷന്മാരുടെയും ആ രണ്ടു സേനകളും, അനേകം അത്ഭുതവ്യൂഹങ്ങളാൽ സമാവൃതവും ചതുരംഗബലസമന്വിതവും ആയി, മഴക്കാലാഗമത്തിൽ ഗർജ്ജിക്കുന്ന മേഘങ്ങൾപോലെ പരസ്പരം നേരെ ദീപ്തമായി തെളിഞ്ഞു।
