Devanagari script

सागरा: सरितश्चैव गिरयश्न महाबला: । ददुः सेनागणाध्यक्षान्‌ शूलपट्टिशधारिण:

Transliteration

sāgarāḥ saritaś caiva girayaś ca mahābalāḥ | daduḥ senāgaṇādhyakṣān śūlapaṭṭiśadhāriṇaḥ ||

Translation

Sinabi ni Vaiśaṃpāyana: Maging ang mga karagatan, ang mga ilog, at ang mga bundok na makapangyarihan ay waring naghandog ng mga pinunong panghukbo—mga lalaking may dalang sibat at mabibigat na sandata—na para bang ang mismong mga puwersa ng kalikasan ay naglalabas ng mga mandirigma para sa nalalapit na sagupaan. Pinatitingkad nito ang bigat na moral ng digmaan: kapag ang tunggalian ay lumobo sa ganitong sukat, wari’y ang buong daigdig ay nahihila upang magtustos ng mga kasangkapan at mga tagapagpatupad ng karahasan.
