THE MAHABHARATA
भारद्वाजो महाप्राज्ञो मापयामास मेदिनीम् ॥
Taking then the permission of the king
and permitted by Vidura also, the very
wise Drona laid out the ground (for the
tournament).
अवघुष्टं पुरञ्चापि तदर्
प्रेक्षागारं सुविहितं चक्रुस्ते तस्य शिल्पिनः ॥
There was proclamation in the city for
that purpose. The architects of Dhrita-
rashtra built (in the ground) a well planned
amphitheatre.
तस्मि
तस्मिंस्ततोऽहनि प्राप्ते राजा ससचि
शातकुंभमयं दिव्यं प्रेक्षागारमुपागमत् ॥
Then, when the day of the tournament
came off, king Dhritarashtra, accompanied by
his minister, came to that excellent golden
amphitheatre.

हर्षादारुरुहुर्मञ्चान् मेरुं देवस्त्रियो यथा ॥
