ज्वलन्तं शूलमुद्रम्य यां दिशं प्रतिपद्यते । तस्यां दिशि विदीर्यन्ते शत्रवों मे महामुने,महामुने! वे जलता हुआ शूल हाथमें लेकर जिस ओर जाते उसी दिशामें मेरे शत्रु विदीर्ण हो जाते थे

Transliteration

arjuna uvāca | jvalantaṁ śūlam udyamya yāṁ diśaṁ pratipadyate | tasyāṁ diśi vidīryante śatravo me mahāmune ||

Translation

Arjuna said: “O great sage, whenever he lifted the blazing spear and advanced toward any direction, in that very direction my enemies were torn apart and shattered. Such was the irresistible force that moved with him, turning the tide of battle and making the unrighteous fall before a power that seemed divinely charged.”
