Mace-duel’s intense exchange
उदपानगताशक्षापो व्यवर्धन्त समन्तत:ः । अशरीरा महानादा: श्रूयन्ते सम तदा नूप,नरेश्वर! कुओंके जल सब ओरसे अपने-आप बढ़ने लगे और बिना शरीरके ही जोर- जोरसे गर्जनाएँ सुनायी दे रही थीं
udapānagatāḥ śaṣkāpo vyavardhanta samantataḥ | aśarīrā mahānādāḥ śrūyante sma tadā nṛpa naraśreṣṭha ||
