ततो वयं महाराज तं मन्त्रं पूर्वमन्त्रितम् ॥ २.१४.५० ॥
O subduer of foes, again and again she keeps saying, 'Kill my husband's slayer.' Then, great king, we took up that counsel already deliberated upon.
2.14.51
संस्मरन्तो विमनसो व्यपयाता नराधिप ।
पृथक्त्वेन महाराज सङ्क्षिप्य महतीं श्रियम् ॥ २.१४.५१ ॥
Remembering, downcast, O lord of men, we departed separately, O great king, gathering up our great fortune.

स्त्रियोऽपि यस्यां युध्येयुः किमु वृष्णिमहारथाः ॥ २.१४.५४ ॥
Likewise we made a fortification even the gods could hardly assail, in which even women might fight — what then of the great charioteers of the Vṛṣṇis?
2.14.55
तस्यां वयममित्रघ्न निवसामोऽकुतोभयाः ।
आलोच्य गिरिमुख्यं तं मागधं तीर्णमेव च ॥ २.१४.५५ ॥
O slayer of enemies, we dwell there fearing nothing from anywhere; having considered that chief mountain of Magadha (Jarāsandha), we have also crossed it.

कन्दरे पर्वतेन्द्रस्य सिंहेनेव महाद्विपाः ॥ २.१४.७३ ॥
