O mighty-armed Kaurava, listen to what I say regarding his prowess. If Savyasachin's anger is excited, neither the Gandharvas nor the Yakshas, nor the Rakshasas can venture to oppose him. On the occasion of the burning of the Khandava forest, he fought with the chief of the gods himself.
तस्य वीर्यं महाबाहो शृणु सत्येन कौरव। तं न देवा न गन्धर्वा न यक्षा न च राक्षसाः॥ उत्सहन्ते रणे जेतुं कुपितं सव्यसाचिनम्। खाण्डवे येन भगवान् प्रत्युद्यातः सुरश्वरः॥
