Drona said: I shall by my Mantras invest this handful of Ishikas (long glass) with the virtue of weapons. Behold their virtues that no other weapons possess. I shall piece the ball with one of these blades and then pierce that blade with another and that another with a third and thus making a chain, I shall bring it up.
द्रोण उवाच एषा मुष्टिरिषीकाणां मयास्त्रेणाभिमन्त्रिता।॥ अस्या वीर्यं निरीक्षध्वं यदन्यस्य न विद्यते। भेत्स्यामीषीकया वीटां तामिषीकां तथान्यया।॥ तामन्यया समायोगे वीटाया ग्रहणं मम।
