And on those (weapons) being resisted, the son of Gadhi hurled a Brahm, weapon. And on that weapon being discharged the deities with Agni at their head, and the Devarsis, and the Gandharvas, and the mighty Serpents, became afflicted with fear. And on that Brahm, weapon being discharged, all the three worlds became exceedingly alarmed.
तेषु शान्तेषु ब्रह्मास्त्रं क्षिप्तवान् गाधिनन्दनः। तदस्त्रमुद्यतं दृष्ट्वा देवाः साग्निपुरोगमाः॥ देवर्षयश्च सम्भ्रान्ता गन्धर्वाः समहोरगाः। त्रैलोक्यमासीत् संत्रस्तं ब्रह्मास्त्रे समुदीरिते॥
