Devanagari script

यथा सुरपति: शक्रस्त्रासयामास दानवान्‌ | तथैव समरे राजा द्रावयामास पाण्डवान्‌,जैसे देवराज इन्द्रने दानवोंकों भयभीत किया था, उसी प्रकार भगदत्तने पाण्डवसैनिकोंको भयभीत करके भगाना आरम्भ किया

Transliteration

yathā surapatiḥ śakrast rāsayāmāsa dānavān | tathaiva samare rājā drāvayāmāsa pāṇḍavān |

Translation

Санджая сказал: Как некогда Шакра, владыка богов, навёл ужас на данавов, так и в той битве царь Бхагадатта начал обращать в бегство воинов Пандавов, гнал их назад, вселяя страх.
