युक्ता इमे अश्वरथा सुचित्रा ।
कम्बोजका अश्ववरा सुदान्ता ।
हस्ती च युक्तास् ते सुवर्णच्छत्रा ।
निर्यातु राजेन्द्रो महाबलेन ॥ २५ ॥

yuktā ime aśvarathā sucitrā |
kambojakā aśvavarā sudāntā |
hastī ca yuktās te suvarṇacchatrā |
niryātu rājendro mahābalena || 25 ||

Now are the gleaming chariots ready, and the well-trained Kambodian horses. The elephants have now been harnessed in their trappings of gold. The king can set out in all his pomp. (25)
