Transliteration

udatiṣṭhata saṅgharṣāt sumahān havyavāhanaḥ | tad vanaṁ vṛkṣasampūrṇaṁ latāviṭapasaṅkulam ||

Translation

Bhishma disse: Da fricção violenta ergueu-se um fogo imenso—Havyavahana, o portador das oblações. Aquele bosque, denso de árvores e emaranhado de cipós e ramagens, foi tomado pela chama, mostrando como uma força sem freio pode rapidamente consumir até o que parece abundante e seguro.
