Adhyāya 86: Irāvān’s Lineage, Cavalry Clash, and the Māyā-Duel Ending in Irāvān’s Fall

Devanagari script

त॑ विजित्य रणे शूरं विक्रान्तं ख्यातपौरुषम्‌ । अजेयं समरे वीरं यमेन वरुणेन च

Transliteration

taṁ vijitya raṇe śūraṁ vikrāntaṁ khyātapauruṣam | ajeyaṁ samare vīraṁ yamena varuṇena ca, rājan |

Translation

Wika ni Sañjaya: O Hari, matapos madaig sa labanan ang bayaning iyon—matapang, bantog sa lakas, at itinuturing na di matatalo kahit nina Yama at Varuṇa—ang elepante ni Bhagadatta ay nagsimulang dumurog sa hukbo ng mga Pāṇḍava sa larangan, gaya ng mailap na elepanteng gubat na yumuyurak sa isang lawa ng mga lotus habang ito’y gumagala roon.
