Shalya said O best of persons, this celestial and most extraordinary history regarding those two foremost of immortals, narrated several times, was heard by me also. O descendant of the Bharata race, I have also heard how the great Grandsire acted as the charioteer of Bhava and how the Asuras were all slaughtered with a single arrow.
शल्य उवाच मयाप्येतन्नरश्रेष्ठ बहुशोऽनरसिंहयोः॥ कथ्यमानं श्रुतं दिव्यमाख्यानमतिमानुषम्। यथा च चक्रे सारथ्यं भवस्य प्रपितामहः॥ यथासुराश्च निहता इषुणैकेन भारत।
