Sanskrit Original
इत्युक्तः स मुनी राज्ञा तेन हृष्टेन तद्वचः। च्यवनः प्रत्युवाचेदं हृष्टः परपुरंजयम्॥ सज्जीकुरु रथं क्षिप्रं यस्ते सांग्रामिको मतः। सायुधः सपताकश्च शक्तीकनकयष्टिमान्॥ किङ्किणीस्वननिर्घोषो युक्तस्तोरणकल्पनैः। जाम्बूनदनिबद्धश्च परमेषुशतान्वितः॥
Thus addressed by the delighted and contented King, the ascetic said to him-Do you promptly get ready that chariot with which you attack hostile cities! cities! Indeed, that warchariot of yours, with every weapon, with its standard and flags, its darts and javelins and golden columns and poles, should be made ready. Its rattle resembles the tinkling of bells. It is adorned with numberless arches made of pure gold. It is always furnished with hundreds of high and excellent weapons!
