महाभारतः mahābhārataḥ - book-3, chapter-173, verse-14

तेजस्तवोग्रं न सहेत राजन्समेत्य साक्षादपि वज्रपाणिः ।
न हि व्यथां जातु करिष्यतस्तौ समेत्य देवैरपि धर्मराज ॥१४॥

14. tejastavograṁ na saheta rāja;nsametya sākṣādapi vajrapāṇiḥ ,
na hi vyathāṁ jātu kariṣyatastau; sametya devairapi dharmarāja.

14. tejaḥ tava ugram na saheta rājan
sametya sākṣāt api vajrapāṇiḥ |
na hi vyathām jātu kariṣyataḥ
tau sametya devaiḥ api dharmarāja

14. O king, even Indra (vajrapāṇiḥ) himself, encountering your fierce splendor face-to-face, would not be able to endure it. Indeed, those two will never experience any distress (vyathām), even when encountering the gods, O king of natural law (dharma).

14. הו מלך, אפילו אִינְדְרַה בכבודו ובעצמו, נושא הוַג׳ְרַה בידו, לא היה יכול לעמוד מול עוצמתך הנוראה. ושני אלה (קְרְשְׁנַה וסָאטְיַקִי) לעולם לא יפחדו, הו דְהַרְמַרָאג׳ַה, גם אם יפגשו באלים.
