Gadāyuddhe Kṛṣṇopadeśaḥ (Kṛṣṇa’s Counsel in the Mace-Duel) — Śalya-parva 57

Devanagari script

अद्विसारमयीं गुर्वीमाविध्यन्‌ बह्मशोभत । भीमसेनके द्वारा घुमायी गयी उस गदाको देखकर दुर्योधन भी अपनी लोहमयी भारी गदाको घुमाता हुआ अधिक शोभा पाने लगा

Transliteration

Sañjaya uvāca — advisāramayīṃ gurvīm āvidhyan brahmaśobhata | Bhīmasenena dvārā ghumāyī gayī us gadāko dekhkar Duryodhana bhī apanī lohamayī bhārī gadāko ghumātā huā adhika śobhā pāne lagā ||

Translation

Disse Sañjaya: Quando Bhīmasena fez rodopiar com força sua enorme maça—como se fosse forjada de adamante—seu brilho era impressionante. Ao vê-la, Duryodhana também começou a rodopiar sua pesada maça de ferro, buscando igualar e superar aquela exibição de esplendor marcial.
