2.15

naitac citraṃ yad ayam udadhiśyāmasīmāṃ dharitrīm ekaḥ kṛtsnāṃ nagaraparighaprāṃśubāhur bhunakti /
āśaṃsante samitiṣu surā baddhavairā hi daityair asyādhijye dhanuṣi vijayaṃ pauruhūte ca vajre //
ubhau (upagamya) vijayasva rājan /
rā (āsanād utthāya) abhivādaye bhavantau /
ubhau svasti bhavate / (iti phalāny upaharataḥ)
rā (sapraṇāmaṃ parigṛhya) ājñāpayitum icchāmi /

Nor is it wonderful that one whose arm
Might bolt a city gate, should keep from harm
The whole broad earth dark-belted by the sea;
For when the gods in heaven with demons fight,
Dushyanta's bow and Indra's weapon bright
Are their reliance for the victory.

King (rising). I salute you.
