Yuddha-yajña-vyākhyāna (The Battle as Sacrifice): Ambarīṣa–Indra Saṃvāda
वीरास्थिशर्करा दुर्गा मांसशोणितकर्दमा । असिचर्मप्लवा घोरा केशशैवलशाद्धला
vīrāsthiśarkarā durgā māṃsaśoṇitakardamā | asicarmaplavā ghorā keśaśaivalśāddhalā ||
安婆利沙描绘一幅如同险固堡垒般的恐怖景象：其砾石乃英雄之骨，其淤泥为血肉之浆，唯以剑刃与皮革结成的筏可渡。污秽可憎，发丝如水草般塞满其间，凝结不净的残渣四散其上——此像旨在唤起对暴力及其所致毁灭的道德厌憎。
