Bhīṣma on the Śara-Śayyā: Yudhiṣṭhira and Kṛṣṇa Approach the Eldest for Śānti
गोभि: समुद्रेण तथा गोलाड्गुलर्क्षवानरै: । गुप्ता रामभयोद्विगग्ना: क्षत्रियाणां कुलोद्स्वहा:
gobhiḥ samudreṇa tathā golāḍgula-r̥kṣa-vānaraiḥ | guptā rāma-bhayodvignāḥ kṣatriyāṇāṃ kulodvahāḥ ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：那些支撑刹帝利血脉的杰出之士，因惧罗摩（帕罗修罗摩）而潜藏不出；他们得到了庇护——来自牛群，来自大海，也同样来自长尾叶猴、熊与群猴。

Certain eminent Kṣatriyas, frightened of Paraśurāma’s wrath, go into hiding; they are said to be safeguarded by cows, the ocean, and forest animals such as langurs, bears, and monkeys.
