Worked up with anger Arjuna invoked the aid of another celestial weapon with mantras which was effulgent like fire, dreadful like venom and hard like adamant. Then uniting it with Raudra weapon he was about to hurl it at his enemy when the earth swallowed up one of the wheels of Karna's car.
ततोऽग्निसदृशं घोरं शरं सर्पविषोपमम्। अश्मसारमयं दिव्यमबिमन्त्र्य परंतपः॥ रौद्रमस्त्रं समाधाय क्षेप्तुकामः किरीटवान्। ततोऽग्रसन्मही चक्रं राधेयस्य तदा नृप॥
