aṁśas tu śaktiṁ jagrāha mṛtyur devaḥ paraśvadhām | pragṛhya parighaṁ ghoraṁ vicacārāryamā api ||
Waiśampāyana berkata: Aṃśa meraih tombak, dan dewa Kematian mengangkat kapak. Aryamā pun, menggenggam gada besi yang mengerikan, bergerak ke sana kemari siap bertempur.

The verse underscores that even divine powers participate in conflict under the demands of cosmic order: arming oneself is not glorified for its own sake, but presented as a grave, duty-bound response within a larger, fated unfolding.
Vaiśaṃpāyana describes deities preparing for battle: Aṃśa takes a spear, Death takes an axe, and Aryamā carries a fearsome iron club, moving about in readiness as hostilities intensify.
