Sanskrit Original
वैशम्पायन उवाच ततस्तामशिवां श्रुत्वा वाचं स परुषाक्षराम्॥ यक्षस्य ब्रुवतो राजन्नुपक्रम्य तदा स्थितः। विरूपाक्षं महाकायं यक्षं तालसमुच्छ्रयम्॥ ज्वलनार्कप्रतीकाशमधृष्यं पर्वतोपमम्। वृक्षमाश्रित्य तिष्ठन्तं ददर्श भरतर्षभः॥ मेघगम्भीरनादेन तर्जयन्तं महास्वनम्।
Vaishampayana said : Thereupon, hearing those inauspicious words couched in harsh letters, which the Yaksha was speaking, he (Yudhishthira), O king, approaching him stood there. And that best of the Bharatas saw that huge-bodied Yaksha endued with unnatural eyes, tall as a palm tree, blazing like the sun or the fire, irresistible, huge as a rock, staying on a tree and uttering deep loud roars like the rumbling of the clouds.
