उलूकदूतवाक्यम् / Ulūka’s Message to the Pāṇḍavas
विचित्रायुधवर्मिण्या गड़येव प्रवृद्धया । उस समय उसके साथ विचित्र आयुधों और कवचोंसे सुशोभित, दूरतकके लक्ष्यको मार गिरानेमें समर्थ तथा बढ़ी हुई गंगाके समान विशाल चतुरंगिणी सेना थी

毗舍摩波耶那说：当时随行的是一支浩大的四部军——奇异兵刃与甲胄辉映，远距离亦能击倒目标——如恒河涨溢成洪之时，势不可当。

Vaiśampāyana describes the presence of a huge, well-equipped fourfold army accompanying a leader, emphasizing its formidable range and scale through the comparison to the swollen Gaṅgā.
