Sanskrit Original
प्रभाते सर्वसैन्यानामग्रे चक्रे धनंजयम्॥ आदित्यपथगः केतुस्तस्याद्भुतमनोरमः। शासनात् पुरुहूतस्य निर्मितो विश्वकर्मणा॥ इन्द्रायुधसवर्णाभिः पताकाभिरलकृतः। आकाशग इवाकाशे गन्धर्वनगरोपमः॥ नृत्यमान इवाभाति रथचर्यासु मारिष।
He (Dhrishtadyumna) placed Dhananjaya in front of the whole army in the next morning. The standard of Dhananjaya, (Arjuna) which had been made by the celestial artificial at the command of Indra, looked exceedingly beautiful when it moved through the sky. Adorned with banners of the rain-bow colours, when it coursed through the air like a arranger of the skies, loO king like a fleeting vapoury mansion in the sky. O sire, it appeared to glide dancingly along the path by which the car went.
