Who is this foremost of Räkşasas and best of bowmen that embellishing the field of battle, approach on a car glorious as the sun; who, . displaying the ten cardinal points with his shafts resembling the rays of the sun, appear handsome with his peak of a banner bearing the figure of Rāhu, whose bow bent in three places, emitting roars resembling the rumbling of clouds, and plated with gold, look like the bow itself of Satakratu?
य एष रक्षःशार्दूलो रणभूमिं विराजयत्। अभ्येति रथिनां श्रेष्ठो रथेनादित्यवर्चसा॥ ध्वजशृङ्गप्रतिष्ठेन राहुणाभिविराजते। सूर्यरश्मिप्रभैर्बाणर्दिशो दश विराजयन्॥ त्रिनतं मेघनिदिं हेमपृष्ठमलंकृतम्। शतक्रतुधनुःप्रख्यं धनुश्चास्य विराजते॥
