Virāṭa Rescued from Suśarmā; Night Battle and Royal Gratitude (विराटमोक्षणं सुशर्मवधाभिमुखं च)

Devanagari script

ततो रथाभ्यां रथिनौ व्यतीयतुरमर्षणौ । शरान्‌ व्यसृजतां शीघ्र॑ं तोयधारा घना इव,क्रोधमें भरे हुए वे दोनों रथी अपना-अपना रथ बढ़ाकर निकट आ गये और शीघ्रतापूर्वक एक दूसरेपर बाणोंकी झड़ी लगाने लगे, मानो दो मेघ जलकी धाराएँ बरसा रहे हों

Transliteration

tato rathābhyāṃ rathinau vyatīyatur amarṣaṇau | śarān vyasṛjatāṃ śīghraṃ toyadhārā ghanā iva ||

Translation

毗湿摩波耶那说：于是两位车战勇士，凶猛而不容受辱，驱车相逼，迅疾互射箭雨，宛如两团雨云倾泻水流。此景昭示：怒火一旦点燃，技艺与勇武便化作战场上的暴烈风暴。
