Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 53: Arjuna’s Jayadratha-vadha Pratijñā and Droṇa’s Protective Vyūha (शकटा-पद्म व्यूहः)
भगवन् क्रोधसंदीप्त: क्रोधादग्निमवासृजत् । स दहत्यश्मकूटानि द्रुमांश्न सरितस्तथा,प्रभो! आपने क्रोधसे प्रज्वलित होकर क्रोधपूर्वक जिस अग्निकी सृष्टि की है, वह पर्वत-शिखरों, वृक्षों और सरिताओंको दग्ध कर रही है
bhagavan krodha-saṃdīptaḥ krodhād agnim avāsṛjat | sa dahaty aśma-kūṭāni drumāṃś ca saritas tathā, prabho ||
ନାରଦ କହିଲେ—ହେ ପ୍ରଭୁ! କ୍ରୋଧରେ ଦୀପ୍ତ ହୋଇ ଆପଣ କ୍ରୋଧଜନିତ ଅଗ୍ନିକୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସେଇ ଅଗ୍ନି ପର୍ବତଶିଖର, ବୃକ୍ଷ ଏବଂ ନଦୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଦହନ କରୁଛି।
