The powerful Dhananjaya considered it all as the work of destiny. Filled with sorrow he breathed heavy sights, at the thought of the non-appearance of his (celestial) weapons, the loss of the might of his arms, the refusal of his bow to obey him; and the exhaustion of his arrows.
धनञ्जयस्तु दैवं तन्मनसाऽचिन्तयत् प्रभुः। दुःखशोकसमाविष्टो निःश्वासपरमोऽभवत्॥ अस्त्राणां च प्रणाशेन बाहुवीर्यस्य संक्षयात्। धनुषश्चाविधेयत्वाच्छराणां संक्षयेण च॥
