कपिश्रेष्ठस्तु पार्थस्य व्यादितास्य इवान्तक: । दंष्टाभिर्भीषयन् भाभिद्दुर्निरी क्ष्यो रविर्यथा

संजय म्हणाला—पार्थ (अर्जुन) यांच्या रथावर श्रेष्ठ वानर बसला होता; तोंड वासून तो जणू अंतक (यम)च, आणि दाढांनी सर्वांना भयभीत करीत होता. त्याची प्रभा सूर्याप्रमाणे होती; त्याच्याकडे पाहणे कठीण होते॥

Sañjaya describes the battlefield sight of Arjuna’s chariot bearing the foremost monkey (Hanumān), portrayed with a gaping mouth and bared fangs, radiating like the sun and terrifying opponents—an omen of formidable protection and strength on Arjuna’s side.
