tasmai bāṇāṁs tato jiṣṇur nirmuktāśīviṣopamān | preṣayāmāsa saṅkruddho jvalitajvalanopamān ||
Translation
Da sandte Jiṣṇu (Arjuna), vom Zorn entflammt, einen Hagel von Pfeilen auf ihn—gleich eben erst losgelassenen Giftschlangen, gleich loderndem Feuer selbst—um die Aggression des Gegners durch überwältigende Gewalt zu zügeln.
