Verse 22.7

मुहूर्तेन यमं ते तु हया हरिहयोपमाः। प्रापयन्मनसस्तुल्या यत्र तत्प्रस्तुतं रणम्॥ दृष्ट्वा तथैव विकृतं रथं मृत्युसमन्वितम्। सचिवा राक्षसेन्द्रस्य सहसा विप्रदुर्दुवुः॥

muhūrtena yamaṃ te tu hayā harihayopamāḥ| prāpayanmanasastulyā yatra tatprastutaṃ raṇam|| dṛṣṭvā tathaiva vikṛtaṃ rathaṃ mṛtyusamanvitam| sacivā rākṣasendrasya sahasā vipradurduvuḥ||

English Meaning

In a moment those horses like to thought (in celerity,) and resembling the steeds themselves of Hari, took Yama where the warfare had already begun. Seeing the frightful car in that aspect with Death present in it, the ministers of the Rākşasa monarch at once took to their heels.
