इमं हि सालं सहित स्त्वया शरो न संशयोऽत्रास्ति विदारयिष्यति | अलं विमर्शेन मम प्रियं ध्रुवं कुरुष्व राजात्मज शापितो मया || ४-११-९२
'It will be enough and my doubt will be cleared. If you can pierce the sala tree with your arrow it will be my pleasure and not a test of your strength. [4-11-92]
यथा हि तेजस्सु वरस्सदा रवि र्यथा हि शैलो हिमवान्महाद्रिषु | यथा चतुष्पात्सु च केसरी वर स्तथा नरणामसि विक्रमे वरः || ४-११-९३
'Just as the Sun is the best among the brilliant, the Himalayas among the great mountains, the lion among the quadrupeds, so also you are the best among men of valour.' [4-11-93]
