Thereupon Mahāpārsva gifted with great vehemence and effulgence, highly angered, took up in his hands a huge paraśvadha, sharpened with oil, bright and hard as iron and discharged it at Vali's son, and struck him therewith on his left shoulder. And Angada baffled that parasvadha.
स तु क्रुद्धो महावेगो महापार्यो महाद्युतिः। करेणैकेन जग्राह सुमहान्तं परश्वधम्॥ तं तैलधौतं विमलं शैलसारमयं दृढम्। राक्षसः परमनुद्धो वालिपुत्रे न्यपातयत्॥ तेन वामांसफलके भृशं प्रत्यवपातितम्। अङ्गदो मोक्षयामास सरोषः सपरश्वधम्॥
