O mighty monarch, we then beheld the standard of that wielder of the Gandiva bow, standard that resembled a lion's tail in shape and looked like a blazing mountain in the air; that could not be obstructed by the trees; that appeared like the risen comet; and that was of diverse hue and variegated and of celestial make and bore the device of the monkey.
सिंहलाङ्ग्लमाकाशे ज्वलन्तमिव पर्वतम्। असज्जमानं वृक्षेषु धूमकेतुमिवोत्थितम्॥ बहुवर्णं विचित्रं च दिव्यं वानरलक्षणम्। अपश्याम महाराज ध्वजं गाण्डीवधन्वनः॥
