Thereupon those clouds, charged with thunder-rattle, vomited thunder and flashes of lightings; but to dispel them Arjuna hurled and excellent weapon. Named Vayavya (wind weapon) with proper Mantras. In a moment it destroyed the force and the energy of Indra's thunder and it dried up the water that was in those masses of clouds; it then destroyed the lightings that played amongst them.
ततोऽशनिमुचो घोरांस्तडित्स्तनितनि:स्वनान्। तद्विघातार्थमसृजदर्जुनोऽप्यस्त्रमुत्तमम्॥ वायव्यमभिमन्याथ प्रतिपत्तिविशारदः। तेनेन्द्राशनिमेघानां वीर्योजस्तद् विनाशितम्॥ जलधाराश्च ताः शोषं जग्मुर्नेशुश्च विद्युतः। क्षणेन चाभवद् व्योम समप्रशान्तरजस्तमः॥
