Sanskrit Original
विरागवसनाः सर्वे स्रग्विणो मृष्टकुण्डलाः। निवेशनमथाजग्मुर्जरासंधस्य धीमतः॥ गोवासमिव वीक्षन्तः सिंहा हैमवता यथा। शालस्तम्भनिभास्तेषां चन्दनागुरुरूषिताः॥ अशोभन्त महाराज बाहवो युद्धशालिनाम्। तान् दृष्ट्वा द्विरदप्रख्याशालस्कन्धानिवोद्गतान्। व्यूढोरस्कान् मागधानां विस्मयः: समपद्यत॥
Having attired in robes of various colours and adorned with garlands and earrings, the heroes entered the palace of the greatly intelligent Jarasandha as Himalayan lions longingly look at the pen of cattle. The arms of those warriors, smeared sandal and aloe paste, looked like the trunks of Sala trees, O great king, when the people of Magadha saw those heroes with necks and broad as those of Sala trees and with wide chests, they began to be very much astonished.
