Shloka 19
और्वकृत-क्रोधाग्नि-निग्रहः
Aurva’s Containment of the Wrath-Fire
स सोममति कान्तत्वादादित्यमति तेजसा । बभूव नृपति: श्रीमान् सुहृदां दुर्ददामपि,वे अपनी कमनीय कान्तिसे चन्द्रमाको और तेजसे सूर्यदेवको भी तिरस्कृत करते थे। राजा संवरण मित्रों तथा शत्रुओंकी मण्डलीमें भी अपनी दिव्य शोभासे प्रकाशित होते थे
sa somamati kāntatvād ādityamati tejasā | babhūva nṛpatiḥ śrīmān suhṛdāṁ durdadām api ||
以其可爱之姿，他似乎胜过明月；以其炽盛之威光，他又似乎凌驾烈日。光荣的萨ṃ瓦罗那王在友与敌的众人之间同样放射神圣的辉耀，灿然夺目，令人难以直视。
