चूर्ण्यमाने5श्मवर्षे तु पावक: समजायत । तत्राश्मचूर्णान्यपतन् पावकप्रकरा इव,पत्थरोंकी वर्षके चूर्ण होते ही सब ओर आग प्रकट हो गयी। फिर तो वहाँ आगकी चिनगारियोंके समूहकी भाँति पत्थरका चूर्ण पड़ने लगा

cūrṇyamāne ’śmavarṣe tu pāvakaḥ samajāyata | tatrāśmacūrṇāny apatan pāvakaprakarā iva ||
Translation
As the shower of stones was ground to powder, fire suddenly sprang up on all sides. Then, in that place, the powdered stone began to fall like clusters of fiery sparks—an ominous, violent marvel that showed how destructive forces multiply when aggression meets resistance.
