Thus was king Babhruvahana incited against his father by his (step) mother. At last, gifted as he was with great energy, he made up his mind, O chief of the Bharatas, to fight Dhananjaya, Putting on his armour of bright gold and his shining head-dress, he got upon an excellent car which had hundreds of quivers ready on it. That car was equipped with necessaries for battle and had horses yoked to it which were fleet like the mind. It had excellent wheels and a strong Upashkara, and was adorned with golden ornaments of every sort.
एवं दुर्मर्षितो राजा स मात्रा बभ्रुवाहनः । मनश्चक्रे महातेजा युद्धाय भरतर्षभ।॥ संना काञ्चनं वर्म शिरस्त्राणं च भानुमत्। तूणीरशतसम्बाधमारुरोह रथोत्तमम्॥ सर्वोपकरणोपेतं युक्तमश्वैर्मनोजवैः। स चक्रोपस्करं श्रीमान् हेमभाण्डपरिष्कृतम्॥
