'विराटनगरे सर्वानभियातो धनञ्जयः ।

प्रमथ्य चाच्छिनद्वासः किमयं प्रोषितस्तदा ॥

'गन्धर्वैर्घोषयात्रायां हिह्रियते यत्सुतस्तव ।
 

क्घव तदा सूतपुत्रोऽभूद् य इदानीं वृषायते ।

ननु तत्रापि पार्थेन गन्धर्वास्ते पराजिताः ॥'

"When your son was being carried

away by the Gandharvas during his visit

to the cattle-farms, where was this son of

the driver who now bellows like a bull?

Oh! there again, the Gandharvas were

vanquished by Arjuna!"
