Transliteration

duryodhanas tu śibiraṃ kārayāmāsa bhārata | yathaiva hāstinapuraṃ dvitīyaṃ samalaṅkṛtam ||

Translation

Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: O Bhārata, ipinagawa ni Duryodhana ang isang kampong militar na pinalamutian na wari’y ikalawang Hastināpura. Sa sobrang husay ng pagkakaayos at paglalangkap, maging ang mga mapanuring taga-lungsod ay halos hindi mawari ang kaibhan ng kampo at ng lungsod na Hastināpura—na naghahayag ng sinadyang pagpapakitang-lakas at pag-angkin sa anyo ng lehitimong paghahari bago sumiklab ang tunggalian.
