Sanskrit Original

अभ्याशे वाजिनस्तस्थुः समारूढाः प्रहारिणः। भीमरूपाश्च मातङ्गास्तोमराङ्कुशनोदिताः। महामात्रैः समारूढा विचित्रकवचोज्ज्वलाः॥ ततः शक्रः सुरगणैः समारुह्य सुदर्शनम्। सहोपायात् तदा राजन् विश्वाश्चिमरुतां गणैः॥ तद् देवयक्षगन्धर्वमहोरगसमाकुलम्। शुशुभेऽभ्रविनिर्मुक्तं ग्रहाणामिव मण्डलम्॥ अस्त्राणां च बलं तेषां मानुषेषु प्रयुञ्जताम्। तच्च भीमं महद् युद्धं कृपार्जुनसमागमे। द्रष्टुमभ्यागता देवाः स्वविमानैः पृथक् पृथक्॥

There came on a beautiful car Shakra accompanied by the celestials, Vishvas and Maruts, O king. Filled with the celestials, Yakshas, Gandharvas, and Nagas the sky looked resplendent as it does when freed from cloud sand crested with stars. The celestials came there in their respective cars to witness the efficacy of their weapons in a human battle as well as the dreadful and great fight between Kripa and Arjuna.
