मृगसिंहैर्वृतं घोरैरन्यैश्चापि वनेचरैः। तद् वनं मनुजव्याघ्रः सभृत्यबलवाहनः॥ लोडयामास दुष्यन्तः सूदयन् विविधान् मृगान्। बाणगोचरसम्प्राप्तांस्तत्र व्याघ्रगणान् बहून्॥ पातयामास दुष्यन्तो निर्बिभेद च सायकैः। दूरस्थान् सायकैः कांश्चिदभिनत् स नराधिपः॥ अभ्याशमागतांश्चान्यान् खङ्गेन निकृन्तत। कांश्चिदेगान् समाजघ्ने शक्त्या शक्तिमतां वरः॥
