Then the commander of the army, renowned in fame throughout the realm of Bharata, possessing great strength and prowess, noble-minded, vigorous, radiant, endowed with auspicious marks, skilled in barbarian languages, an eloquent and pleasing speaker, knowing the lowlands, valleys, difficult terrains, and inaccessible regions in the realm of Bharata, adept in statecraft and weapons, the jewel-like general Suṣeṇa, saw King Bharata's vanguard being slain, crushed, its prominent heroes slaughtered, its insignia, banners, and flags fallen and broken by the Āpāṭa Kirātas, reduced to barely clinging to life, and scattered in every direction. Having seen this, infuriated, enraged, wrathful, provoked, blazing [with fury], he mounted the jewel among horses named Kamalāmela.
Then, that [horse was] eighty aṅgulas in height, ninety-nine aṅgulas in circumference, one hundred and eight aṅgulas in length, with a head raised thirty-two aṅgulas high, ears of four aṅgulas, forelegs of twenty aṅgulas, knees of four aṅgulas, shanks of sixteen aṅgulas, hooves raised four aṅgulas high; with a midsection slender and rounded like a string of pearls; with a back slightly indented by a thumb's breadth, curved, well-knit, well-formed, praiseworthy, distinguished, firm, broad, and elevated like the knees of a doe; whose body was free from the strokes of cane, whip, lash, or goad; with a bridle having golden mirrors; with ropes adorned with distinct jewels, mirror-like roundels, and excellent golden blooming flowers; whose back was splendidly adorned with a net of various small bells and strings of pearls intertwined with plates of gold, gems, and precious stones; adorned with face-ornaments crafted of chrysoberyl, sapphire, emerald, and musāragalla gems; embellished with woven strings of rubies; bearing an auspicious tilaka made of gold in the shape of a lotus; fashioned as if by divine intellect; worthy of being the mount for the foremost lord of gods; handsome, bearing five beautiful waving chowries...
... moving as if not touching the ground; with unobstructed vision; possessing eyes broad like blooming petals; with palate, tongue, and mouth resembling freshly refined gold heated in fire; with a snout fit for the coronation of Śrī; whose steady body was like a waterdrop upon a lotus petal, yet swift; behaving playfully like a pure caraka ascetic or parivrājaka; striking the ground again and again with its hollowed hooves; raising both feet together as if bursting from its mouth; moving so swiftly as to pass over water upon a single lotus fiber; endowed with pure auspicious signs of twelve whorls that inspire confidence in its breed, lineage, and appearance; born of an excellent breed; intelligent, noble, well-trained; whose skin was sleek with fine, delicate, soft hair; possessing an auspicious gait; surpassing gods, the mind, wind, and Garuḍa in its swift, fickle, rapid pace; like a sage in forbearance and endurance; visibly disciplined like a good disciple; capable of leaping, pressing forward, and crossing over water, fire, stone, dust, mud, gravel, sand, banks, ridges, rugged terrain, slopes, and mountain ravines; not falling violently, disciplined under control, not stumbling, with sound palate, neighing auspiciously, having overcome sleep, attentive, having conquered hardships, of noble pedigree, possessed of fine flanks, soft like the golden hue of a parrot's wing, pleasing to the mind—the general mounted that jewel among horses named Kamalāmela. And [he took] the divine jewel among swords, dark as a blue lotus petal, lustrous like the disk of the moon, destroying enemies, with a hilt of gold and jewels, fragrant like the freshly blossomed navamālikā flower, decorated with figures of various jeweled vines, polished, blazing, razor-sharp, peerless in the world, capable of cutting through bamboo, trees, horns, bone, ivory, black iron, massive iron rods, and excellent diamonds, irresistible everywhere—how much more through the bodies of living beings?
