Translation
Il lança l’Astra Bhārgava, d’une fureur terrible, épouvantable pour les ennemis. Par les flammes de ce Bhārgava-astra, si violent qu’il faisait trembler les trois mondes, ces rois furent aussitôt consumés; puis l’obscurité d’un épais rideau de fumée, soulevé par l’astra du Vent, leur déroba la vue un instant, et ils roulèrent, hébétés, sur la terre noyée de poussière.
