Śalya’s Objection to Sārathya and Duryodhana’s Conciliation (शल्यमन्यु-प्रशमनम् / Sārathyāṅgīkāra)
ततः स शुशुभे राजन् कण्ठासक्तमहाधनु:,राजन! कण्ठमें पड़े हुए उस महाधनुषसे युक्त नकुल ऐसी शोभा पाने लगे, मानो आकाशमें चन्द्रमापर घेरा पड़ गया हो अथवा कोई श्याम मेघ इन्द्रधनुषसे सुशोभित हो रहा हो
tataḥ sa śuśubhe rājan kaṇṭhāsakta-mahādhanuḥ
三阇耶说道：“大王啊，随后他光彩夺目，颈间斜挂着那张巨弓。佩此雄兵，纳俱罗愈显英华——如天际明月被光环环绕，又如黧黑雨云因因陀罗之虹而增辉；在战事铺展开来之际，他俨然是整肃勇武、备战待发的化身。”
