Verse 70.9

स पुरा दिव्यसंकाशो वर्षे द्वादशमे शुभे। निविष्टः शूरसेनानां विषयश्चाकुतोभयः॥ क्षेत्राणि सस्ययुक्तानि काले वर्षति वासवः। अरोगवीरपुरुषा शत्रुघ्नभुजपालिता ॥

sa purā divyasaṃkāśo varṣe dvādaśame śubhe| niviṣṭaḥ śūrasenānāṃ viṣayaścākutobhayaḥ|| kṣetrāṇi sasyayuktāni kāle varṣati vāsavaḥ| arogavīrapuruṣā śatrughnabhujapālitā ||

English Meaning

In this wise the fearlessness of the celestial host, taking the shape of a country, that beautiful and picturesque city was reared in the course of twelve years. All the fields there were filled with crops and Indra began to pour showers in due seasons. And being protected by the strength of Śatrughna's arms all men there became valiant and were freed from deseases.
