Kṛṣṇa–Arjuna Saṃvāda in Indraprastha: Consolation, Legitimation, and Leave for Dvārakā (आश्वमेधिकपर्व, अध्याय १५)
विजद्दाते मुदा युक्तौ दिवि देवेश्वराविव । तौ वनेषु विचित्रेषु पर्वतेषु ससानुषु,स्वर्गलोकमें विहार करनेवाले दो देवेश्वरोंकी भाँति वे दोनों मित्र आनन्दमग्न हो विचित्र- विचित्र वनोंमें और पर्वतोंके सुरम्य शिखरोंपर विचरने लगे
Vijaddāte mudā yuktau divi deveśvarāv iva | tau vaneṣu vicitreṣu parvateṣu sasānuṣu ||
विजगाहाते मुदा युक्तौ दिवि देवेश्वराविव । तौ वनेषु विचित्रेषु पर्वतेषु ससानुषु ॥
