"O the best of the Bharatas, it is witnessed by all the creatures that these flowers of five colours, driven by the force of the wind raised by Suparna, are falling (with a crushing force) towards the river Ashvaratha. (In the forest of) Khandava your high-souled brother (Arjuna), true to his promise baffled (the attempts) of the Gandharvas, the Uragyas, the Rakshasas and even of Vasava (Indra) and slew the furious Mayavis (who can assume any shape they choose) and also obtained the bow Gandiva."
सुपर्णानिलवेगेन श्वसनेन महाचलात्। पञ्चवर्णानि पात्यन्ते पुष्पाणि भरतर्षभ।॥ प्रत्यक्षं सर्वभूतानां नदीमश्वरथां प्रति। खाण्डवे सत्यसंधेन भ्रात्रा तव महात्मना॥ गन्धर्वोरगरक्षांसि वासवश्च निवारितः। हता मायाविनश्चोचाधनुः प्राप्तं च गाण्डिवम्॥
