Then waxing worth, that foremost of men, endued with great prowess, covered the prince of the Rakshasas in that battle with a net-work of straight-knotted shaft.

तां चाभिजनिवान् मायां राक्षसस्य दुरात्मनः। संक्रुद्धश्च महावीर्यो राक्षसेन्द्रं नरोत्तमः॥ छादयामास समरे शरैः संनतपर्वभिः। बह्वीस्तथान्या मायाश्च प्रयुक्तास्तेन रक्षसा॥
