Babhruvāhana’s Lament and Appeal for Expiation (प्रायश्चित्त-याचना)
उत्यथिते पुरुषव्याप्रे पुनर्लक्ष्मीवति प्रभो । दिव्या: सुमनस: पुण्या ववृषे पाकशासन:,प्रभो! पुरुषसिंह श्रीमान् अर्जुनके पुनः उठ जानेपर पाकशासन इन्द्रने उनके ऊपर दिव्य एवं पवित्र फूलोंकी वर्षा की
utthite puruṣavyāghre punar lakṣmīvati prabho | divyāḥ sumanasaḥ puṇyā vavṛṣe pākaśāsanaḥ ||
毗舍摩波耶那说道：“大王啊！当阿周那——人中之虎，福光炳然——再度起身之时，帕迦娑娑那（因陀罗）便向他洒下神圣清净的天花。此景昭示：坚忍的勇武与正当的决断，一旦与达摩相应，连诸天亦加以褒扬。”
