अश्वगंधान्समाघ्राय सन्त्रस्ता मृगयूथपाः । क्षुब्धा भ्रान्ताः क्षणे तस्मिन्सर्वे यांति दिशो दश
aśvagaṃdhānsamāghrāya santrastā mṛgayūthapāḥ | kṣubdhā bhrāntāḥ kṣaṇe tasminsarve yāṃti diśo daśa
घोड्यांचा वास लागताच मृगयूथांचे नायक भयभीत झाले। क्षुब्ध व भ्रमित होऊन त्या क्षणीच ते सर्व दहा दिशांना पळून गेले।
