Devanagari script

रणे भारतसिंहस्य ददृशु: क्षत्रिया गतिम्‌ । अग्नेर्वायुसहायस्य यथा कक्ष॑ दिधक्षत:

Translation

No campo de batalha, os kṣatriyas viram o ímpeto do “leão da linhagem de Bharata”, Bhīṣma—fulgurante em extremo, como o fogo, ajudado pelo vento, que se aviva para queimar a relva e o mato.
