tato 'ham api kaunteya śarāṇām ayutān bahūn āmantritānāṃ dhanuṣā divyena vidhinā 'kṣipam
Entonces yo también, oh hijo de Kuntī, disparé desde mi arco divino muchas decenas de miles de flechas, consagradas con fórmulas sagradas conforme al rito, respondiendo así con poder disciplinado y conforme al dharma.
