यावदेतान् पुनः सुभ्रु क्षिपमीति जनाधिप । जनेश्वर! इस प्रकार बाण चलानेकी क्रीड़ा करते-करते ज्येष्ठ मासके सूर्य दिनके मध्यभागमें आ पहुँचे। विप्रवर जमदग्निने पुन: बाण छोड़कर रेणुकासे कहा--'सुभ्रु! विशाललोचने! जाओ, मेरे धनुषसे छूटे हुए इन बाणोंको ले आओ, जिससे मैं पुनः इन सबको धनुषपर रखकर छोड़ूँ'

Bhishma said: “O king, O lord of men! As Jamadagni continued his sport of shooting arrows again and again, the sun in the month of Jyeshtha reached the middle of the day. Then the foremost of Brahmins, Jamadagni, releasing another volley, said to Renuka: ‘O fair one, wide-eyed lady! Go and bring back these arrows that have flown from my bow, so that I may place them again upon the bow and shoot them once more.’”
