Shloka 26
अर्जुनस्योत्तरदिग्विजयः
Arjuna’s Northern Conquests and Tribute Collection
न स सज्ज ति वृक्षेषु शस्त्रैश्वापि न रिष्यते । दिव्यो ध्वजवरो राजन दृश्यते चेह मानुषै:
na sa sajjati vṛkṣeṣu śastraiś cāpi na riṣyate | divyo dhvajavaro rājan dṛśyate ceha mānuṣaiḥ ||
वैशंपायन म्हणाले—तो ध्वज वृक्षांत अडकत नाही आणि शस्त्रांनीही त्याची हानी होत नाही। राजन्! हा दिव्य व श्रेष्ठ ध्वज या लोकातील मनुष्यांना येथे केवळ दृष्टिगोचर होतो।
