Śalya–Bhīma Gadāyuddham (मद्रराज-भीमसेन गदायुद्धम्)
बाह्[माभ्यन्तरं चैव चरन्तौ मार्गमुत्तमम् । ददृशाते महात्मानौ सपक्षाविव पर्वताौ,वे दोनों महामनस्वी वीर बाहर और भीतर चोट करनेके उत्तम पैंतरे बदलते हुए पंखयुक्त दो पर्वतोंके समान दृष्टिगोचर हो रहे थे
bāhyābhyantaraṃ caiva carantau mārgam uttamam | dadṛśāte mahātmānau sapakṣāv iva parvatau ||
बाह्यमाभ्यन्तरं चैव चरन्तौ मार्गमुत्तमम् । ददृशाते महात्मानौ सपक्षाविव पर्वतौ ॥
