O descendant of Kuru, O best of men, like the king of birds (Garuda), he rushed upon Dvarka, with his army, equipped with every kind of weapons, skilled in all arms, furnished with numerous chariots, elephants and cavalry, full of pennons and banners and strengthened with well-paid, well-fed and greatly powerful foot soldiers who bore every mark of heroism and who used wonderful chariots and bows.
सर्वायुधसमोपेतं सर्वशस्त्रविशारदम्। रथनागाश्वकलिलं पदातिध्वजसंकुलम्॥ तुष्टपुष्टबलोपेतं वीरलक्षणलक्षितम्। विचित्रध्वजसन्नाहं विचित्ररथकार्मुकम्॥ संनिवेश्य च कौरव्य द्वारकायां नरर्षभ। अभिसारयामास तदा वेगेन पतगेन्द्रवत्॥
