भीष्मशिबिरगमनम् — Duryodhana’s Visit to Bhīṣma’s Camp and the Command Appeal
राक्षसो5प्यनदद् घोरं स शब्दस्तुमुलो5भवत् | बलवान् इरावानके फरसेसे छिन्न-भिन्न हुआ वह वीर राक्षस घोर आर्तनाद करने लगा। उसका वह शब्द बड़ा भयंकर प्रतीत होता था ।।
rākṣaso 'py anadad ghoraṃ sa śabdas tumulo 'bhavat | paraśvadhakṣataṃ rakṣaḥ sūtrāv bahu śoṇitam ||
三阇耶说道：虽为罗刹，他却发出骇人的咆哮，那声音化作震天的喧嚣，令人闻之胆寒。被斧刃所伤，罗刹血流如注；而见敌手在阵中依旧屹立不退，利师耶室陵伽之强子阿蓝布沙怒与势俱炽，化现巨大可怖之形，遂开始欲擒阿周那英名之子——勇武的伊罗伐安。
