evam uktas tataḥ pakṣī parṇāny āstīrya bhūtale | yathāśaktyā hi parṇena jvalanārthaṃ drutaṃ yayau ||
Translation
Disse Bhīṣma: Assim interpelado, o pássaro logo espalhou muitas folhas pelo chão. Depois, esforçando-se com as asas o quanto pôde, voou rapidamente para buscar fogo—mostrando pronta obediência e diligência sincera em cumprir o que lhe fora pedido.
