These hands of mine are not intended for enhancing the beauty of my body, this bow is not meant for an ornament only this sword is not for binding woods together with, and these arrows are not for carrying the weight of woods, these four belonging to me are for the use of killing the enemies. Never do I desire that I shall not cut them into pieces with sharp-edged swords, brilliants the lighting, whom I do consider as my enemies, though they be redoubtable as Indra, the wielder of thunder-bolt.
न शोभार्थाविमौ बाहू न धनुर्भूषणाय मे। नासिराबन्धनार्थाय न शराः स्तम्भहेतवः॥ अमित्रमथनार्थाय सर्वमेतच्चतुष्टयम्। न चाहं कामयेऽत्यर्थं यः स्याच्छत्रुर्मतो मम॥ असिना तीक्ष्णधारेण विद्युच्चलितवर्चसा। प्रगृहीतेन वै शत्रु वज्रिणं वा न कल्पये॥
