The Gandharva said Do you, O foremost of kings, listen to the terrible war-cry, of Vasava roaring in the sky, assuredly and openly will Mahendra hurl his thunderbolt at you, do you, therefore, think of your well-being, for this is the time to do it.
गन्धर्व उवाच घोरो नादः श्रूयतां वासवस्य नभस्तले गर्जतो राजसिंह। व्यक्तं वज्रं मोक्ष्यते ते महेन्द्रः क्षेमं राजंश्चिन्त्यतामेष कालः॥
