निवातकवचवधः — Arjuna’s Neutralization of the Nivātakavacas
Vajra-astra deployment
अथापराल्ने तस्याह्व: प्रावात् पुण्य: समीरण: । पुनर्नवमिमं लोकं कुर्वन्निव सपत्नहन्,शत्रुविजयी नरेश! तदनन्तर जब वह दिन ढलने लगा, तब पुनः इस जगतमें नूतन जीवनका संचार-सा करती हुई पवित्र वायु चलने लगी और उस हिमालयके पार्श्ववर्ती प्रदेशमें दिव्य, नवीन और सुगन्धित पुष्पोंकी वर्षा होने लगी
athāparāhṇe tasyāhvaḥ prāvāt puṇyaḥ samīraṇaḥ | punar navam imaṃ lokaṃ kurvann iva sapatnahan śatruvijayī nareśa |
Luego, cuando el día declinaba hacia su última parte, comenzó a soplar una brisa sagrada. Parecía renovar el mundo con vida nueva—oh rey, matador de rivales y vencedor de enemigos—anunciando un giro propicio en el curso de los acontecimientos.
