Krishna said O Partha, behold the great city of Magadha standing in all its beauty. It is full of cattle and other beasts of burden; its stock of water is inexhaustive; it is adorned with fine mansions; and it is (entirely) free from all dangers.
वासुदेव उवाच एष पार्थ महान् भाति पशुमान् नित्यमम्बुमान्। निरामयः सुवेश्माढ्यो निवेशो मागधः शुभः॥
