The with those blazing arrowy rays of his, the puissant son of Pritha sucked the lives of your warriors, like the summer sun sucking with his scorching rays the waters of tanks and lakes. Then those arrows sped by him conversant in the use of celestial weapons.
नैशं तमोऽशुभिः क्षिप्रं दिनादाविव भास्करः। ततस्तु तावकं सैन्यं दीप्तैः शरगभस्तिभिः॥ आक्षिपत् पल्वलाम्बूनि निदाघार्क इव प्रभुः। ततो दिव्यास्रविदुषा प्रहिताः सायकांशवः॥
