O ruler of men, excepting only the wielder of Pinaka, the foremost of the Gods, there is no skilled archer like me. On receiving the sanction of that illustrious deity, whose forehead is bedecked with the crescent moon, I can surely destroy in a moment this whole universe with all its organic and inorganic creation.
न मादृशोऽन्यो नरदेव विद्यते धनुर्धरो देवमृते पिनाकिनम्॥ अहं हि तेनानुमतो महात्मना क्षणेन हन्यां सचराचरं जगत्।
