Within a short time the dreadful Raksasa, powerful as the elephant Arjuna, reached the banks of Narmada and espied there Arjuna encircled by females as an elephant surrounded by she-elephants.
अदीर्घेणैव कालेन स तदा राक्षसो बली॥ तं नर्मदाह्वदं भीममाजगामाञ्जनप्रभः। स तत्र स्त्रीपरिवृतं वासिताभिरिव द्विपम्॥ नरेन्द्रं पश्यते राजा राक्षसानां तदार्जुनम्।
