I have learnt from Prajapati the diverse kinds of fierce warfare. On the other side of the ocean, I defeated sixty thousand car-warriors all dreadful archers living in Hiranyapura. Behold me, today striking down the vast number of Kurus like a high wind scattering a heap of cotton. By the power of my arrows I shall set fire to the Kuru forest having standards for the trees, the infantry for the shrubs and the car-warriors for the beasts of prey. Like the holder of thunder routing the demons alone shall I today with my straight arrows strike down from the nests of their cars the Kurus fighting to the best of their power in battle.
अहं पारे समुद्रस्य हिरण्यपुरवासिनाम्। जित्वा षष्टिं सहस्राणि रथिनामुग्रधन्विनाम्॥ शीर्यमाणानि कूलानि प्रवृद्धेनेव वारिणा। मया कुरूणां वृन्दानि पात्यमानानि पश्य वै॥ ध्वजवृक्षं पत्तितृणं रथसिंहगणायुतम्। वनमादीपयिष्यामि कुरूणामस्वतेजसा॥ तानहं रथनीडेभ्यः शरैः संनतपर्वभिः। यत्तान् सर्वानतिबलान् योत्स्यमानानवस्थितान्। एकः संकालयिष्यामि वज्रपाणिरिवासुरान्।।३
