Transliteration

yuddhagāndharvasevī ca sarvatrāpratighas tathā | etaiś cānyaiś ca bahubhir ayukto guṇagaṇair muniḥ ||

Translation

Disse Vaiśampāyana: Ele era devotado às artes da guerra e ao saber dos Gandharvas (música e refinados aprimoramentos), e em toda parte seguia sem impedimento — jamais detido pela oposição. Assim, ó sábio, era dotado dessas e de muitas outras constelações de virtudes.
