| CHHAPAI Avivek has black colour, black chariot and black horses; his garments are black also; seeing him, all the men and women around; His charioteer is also black, whose garments are also black; his chariot is also darkness; his bow and banner are all black and he considers himself a superb and superior peroson; O king ! this is the pretty appearance of Avivek with which he has conquered the world; he is unconquerable and consider him as the likeness of Krishna.169. |
