ततः स पुरुषव्याघ्रः संजहार वपुः स्वकम् । तां दिव्यामद्भुतां चित्रामृद्धिमत्तामरिंदमः॥५-१२९-१६॥

Then that tiger among men, the subduer of foes, withdrew his own body—his divine, wondrous, variegated, and majestic manifestation.

english translation

ततः सात्यकिमादाय पाणौ हार्दिक्यमेव च । ऋषिभिस्तैरनुज्ञातो निर्ययौ मधुसूदनः॥५-१२९-१७॥

Then Madhusūdana, taking Sātyaki by the hand—and Hārdikya as well—departed, having been granted leave by those ṛṣis.

english translation

ऋषयोऽन्तर्हिता जग्मुस्ततस्ते नारदादयः । तस्मिन्कोलाहले वृत्ते तदद्भुतमभूत्तदा॥५-१२९-१८॥

Then those sages—Nārada and others—became invisible and departed. Amid that commotion as it unfolded, that extraordinary event occurred.

english translation

तं प्रस्थितमभिप्रेक्ष्य कौरवाः सह राजभिः । अनुजग्मुर्नरव्याघ्रं देवा इव शतक्रतुम्॥५-१२९-१९॥

Seeing him set out, the Kauravas together with the kings followed that tiger among men, as the gods once followed Śatakratu (Indra).

english translation

अचिन्तयन्नमेयात्मा सर्वं तद्राजमण्डलम् । निश्चक्राम ततः शौरिः सधूम इव पावकः॥५-१२९-२०॥

Reflecting upon that entire circle of kings, Śauri—of immeasurable spirit—then went forth, like a fire accompanied by smoke.
