By the energy thereof we have all been overwhelmed. This effulgent, ever existing arrow was made by the Primeval, Deity, Vis nu-the lord of creatures. My children, the burning arrow, of which you are afraid, was made by the high-minded Vişņu for slaying the demons Madhu and Kaitabha.
तेजसा तस्य संमूढाः सर्वे स्मः सुरसत्तमाः। एषो पूर्वस्य देवस्य लोककर्तुः सनातनः॥ शरस्तेजोमयो वत्सा येन वै भयमागतम्। एष वै कैटभस्यार्थे मधुनश्च महाशरः॥ सृष्टो महात्मना तेन वधार्थे दैत्ययोस्तयोः।
