Sanskrit Original
शक्तीश्च विमलास्तीक्ष्णा गदाश्च परिघैः सह। प्रासान् परश्वघांश्चैव मुद्गरान् मुसलानपि॥ चिक्षिपुः समरे क्रुद्धाः फाल्गुनस्य रथं प्रति। शस्त्राणामथ तां वृष्टिं शलभानामिवायतिम्॥ रुरोध सर्वतः पार्थः शरैः कनकभूषणैः। तत्र तल्लाघवं दृष्ट्वा बीभत्सोरतिमानुषम्॥ देवदानवगन्धर्वाः पिशाचोरगराक्षसाः। साधु साध्विति राजेन्द्र फाल्गुनं प्रत्यपूजयन्॥

Seeing on that occasion the extraordinary lightness of the hands of Vibhatsu (Arjuna), the celestials, in the Danavas, the Gandharvas, the Pishachas the Uragas and the Rakshasas praised Phalguna, exclaiming “Excellent” “Excellent”.
