Showering arrows, as they are masters in weapon, let hostilities cease. So long as in the delicate bodies of the rulers of the earth terrible arrows with wings do not fall, let hostilities cease. So long as on the breasts of those warriors smeared with sandal and other sweet scented unguents and bedecked with golden garlands and gems, do not fall the dreadful weapons of iron and steel shot by mighty bowmen,
कृतास्त्राः क्षिप्रमस्यन्तस्तावच्छाम्यतु वैशसम्। यावन्न सुकुमारेषु शरीरेषु महीक्षिताम्॥ गाघ्रपत्राः पतन्त्युचास्तावच्छाम्यतु वैशसम्। चन्दनागुरुदिग्धेषु हारनिष्कघरेषु च। नोर:सु यावद् योधानां महेष्वासैर्महेषवः॥
