Looking like two enraged tigers or like two roaring masses of clouds, they became glad like two manned lions. Like two angry or two blazing fires, those two great ones appeared like two mountains with tall summits. With lips swelling with rage and looking upon each other those two heroes, armed with maces, met each other. Both were elated with joy and each regarded the other as a worthy opponent.
व्याघ्राविव सुसंरब्धौ गर्जन्ताविव तोयदौ॥ जहषाते महाबाहू सिंहकेसरिणाविवा जगाविव सुसंरब्धौ ज्वलिताविव पावकौ॥ ददृशाते महात्मानौ सशृङ्गाविव पर्वतौ। रोषात् प्रस्फुरमाणोष्ठौ निरीक्षन्तौ परस्परम्॥ तौ समेतौ महात्मानौ गदाहस्तौ नरोत्तमौ।
