Thousands of bright and beautiful fire-like blazing banners, decked with gold and gems were gazed at by the heroic warriors clad in armour, each one of whom longed for battle.
काञ्चना मणिचित्राङ्गा ज्वलन्त इव पावकाः। अर्चिष्मन्तो व्यरोचन्त गजारोहाः सहस्रशः॥ महेन्द्रकेतवः शुभ्रा महेन्द्रसदनेष्विव। संनद्धास्ते प्रवीराश्च ददृशुर्युद्धकाक्षिणः॥
