The Pandavas then, with their hair standing on the end and with delight beheld that mighty array of horses maintained by the lord of wealth and also the noble-minded and graceful Kubera himself surrounded by the Yakshas and the Rakshasas. Kubera too, seeing those mighty car-warriors, the sons of Pandu, gifted with great strength and equipped with bows and swords, became pleased; and desirous of performing the task of the celestials was glad at heart.
तत् केसरिमहाजालंधनाधिपतिपालितम्। कुबेरं च महात्मानं यक्षरक्षोगणावृतम्॥ ददृशुर्हष्टरोमाणः पाण्डवाः प्रियदर्शनम्। कुबेरस्तु महासत्त्वान् पाण्डोः पुत्रान् महारथान्॥ आत्तकार्मुकनिस्त्रिंशान् दृष्ट्वा प्रीतोऽभवत् तदा। देवकार्यं चिकीर्षन् स हृदयेन तुतोष ह॥
