Then, O king taking up two resplendent shields, made of bull's hide, and embossed and decked with hundred beautiful stars and moons on the ground, as also taking up two swords of dazzling effulgence, those two warriors assailed one another, like two lions, in deep woods, both striving to consort with the same lioness in her season.
आर्षभे चर्मणी चित्रे शतचन्द्रपुरस्कृते। तारकाशतचित्रे च निस्त्रिंशौ सुमहाप्रभौ॥ प्रगृह्य विमलौ राजस्तावन्योमभिद्रुतौ। वासितासंगमे यत्तौ सिंहाविव महावने।॥
