महाबला महावेगा महापारिषदास्तथा | अभिषेक कुमारस्य दृष्टवा हृष्टा रणप्रिया:

Transliteration

mahābalā mahāvegā mahāpāriṣadās tathā | abhiṣekaṃ kumārasya dṛṣṭvā hṛṣṭā raṇapriyāḥ ||

Translation

Вайшампаяна сказал: Могучие силой, стремительные в натиске и знатнейшие среди собравшихся вождей, они — любители битвы — возликовали, увидев царское помазание князя. Эта сцена показывает, как законность власти и публичное признание способны разжечь воинский пыл, связывая политический порядок с энергией войны.
