एकं खङ्गकरं तत्र तथान्यं दण्डधारिणम् । एकं कौस्तुभदीप्ताङ्गमन्यं भूतिविभूषितम् ॥ २१.५५ ॥
ekaṃ khaṅgakaraṃ tatra tathānyaṃ daṇḍadhāriṇam | ekaṃ kaustubhadīptāṅgam anyaṃ bhūtivibhūṣitam || 21.55 ||
അവിടെ ഒരാൾ കൈയിൽ ഖഡ്ഗം പിടിച്ചിരുന്നു; മറ്റൊരാൾ ദണ്ഡം ധരിച്ചു. ഒരാളുടെ ദേഹം കൗസ്തുഭമണിയുടെ ദീപ്തിയാൽ പ്രകാശിച്ചു; മറ്റൊരാൾ ഭസ്മവിഭൂതിയാൽ അലങ്കരിക്കപ്പെട്ടു.
